NEUROPSYCHOLOGIA

《神经心理学》是一份国际性的跨学科杂志，致力于从神经科学的角度促进对人类认知和行为的理解的实验和理论贡献。该杂志将考虑发表一些研究，将大脑功能与认知过程直接联系起来，包括感知、注意力和意识、行动和运动控制、执行功能和认知控制、记忆、语言、情感和社会认知。强烈鼓励使用功能和结构神经成像、认知电生理学和脑刺激等方法提交论文，以显著促进认知和心理理论的发展。神经心理学在发表损伤缺陷研究方面有着悠久的历史，这些研究仍然非常适合发表在杂志上。提交动物研究也是受欢迎的，只要它们对理解人类认知和行为的大脑基础有直接和明确的影响。在神经健康的参与者中采用纯行为方法的研究不适合发表在期刊上，除非研究结果对支持认知和行为的神经机制或系统的理解有直接和重要的影响。对临床人群的研究，主要是描述性的或旨在阐明临床障碍，或评估治疗干预，是不适合的杂志。定期出版特刊和评论文章，为读者提供有关重要课题的权威调查。

Neuropsychologia is an international interdisciplinary journal devoted to experimental and theoretical contributions that advance understanding of human cognition and behavior from a neuroscience perspective. The journal will consider for publication studies that directly link brain function with cognitive processes, including perception, attention and consciousness, action and motor control, executive functions and cognitive control, memory, language, and emotion and social cognition. Submission of papers using methodologies such as functional and structural neuroimaging, cognitive electrophysiology, and brain stimulation to significantly advance cognitive and psychological theory is strongly encouraged.Neuropsychologia has a long history of publishing lesion-deficit studies, and these remain highly appropriate for the journal. Submission Animal studies are also welcome, provided they have a direct and explicitly specified impact on understanding the brain basis of human cognition and behavior. Studies that employ a purely behavioral approach in neurologically healthy participants are not appropriate for the journal unless the findings have a direct and significant bearing on the understanding of the neural mechanisms or systems supporting cognition and behavior. Studies of clinical populations that are primarily descriptive or intended to elucidate a clinical disorder, or that evaluate a therapeutic intervention, are not appropriate for the journal. Special issues and Review Papers are published regularly with the aim of providing authoritative surveys of topics of major interest.
