At the 12th Annual Meeting of the Harvey Cushing Society, held in New York City in 1943, the Journal of Neurosurgery was formed.

The first issue of the first volume was published several months thereafter in January 1944 (but mailed in March), three months after John F. Fulton letter of September 27, 1943, to Charles C. Thomas, requesting that he publish the JNS. The editorial board chair, Gilbert Horrax, introduced the JNS and its purpose to its readers with Louise Eisenhardt as its managing editor (1944–1965).

The Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group (JNSPG) is the scholarly journals publication arm of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

Since 1944, the Journal of Neurosurgery has been recognized worldwide for its authoritative articles on clinical and laboratory research, and innovative surgical techniques and instruments, as well as its rigorous focus on the highest-quality presentation of scientific and medical advances.

The Journal of Neurosurgery is the most highly cited journal in neurosurgery, according to Thomson Reuters' Journal Citation Reports® (JCR).

In 1999, began the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine as a quarterly supplement to the Journal, becoming a bi-monthly publication in 2002.

In 2004 the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics as a quarterly supplement. Both JNS: Spine and JNS: Pediatrics began monthly publication in 2005.

Neurosurgical Focus covers a different topic in depth each month, and has been free to the public since 1996. Enhanced by color images and video clips, each peer-reviewed issue constitutes a state-of-the-art “textbook chapter” in the field of neurosurgery. Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits are offered as well. Examples of the myriad topics addressed to date include treatment of spasticity, the neurosurgeon in sports medicine, neuroendoscopy, and the history of brain tumor surgery.
