AIMS & SCOPE

«Neuropsychological Trends» is devoted to the publication of high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. The journal has threefold purposes: a) encourage debate on the actual trend topics of neuropsychology and neuroscience; b) be home for research of new field; c) introduce methodology discussion.

«Neuropsychological Trends» promotes the exchange of ideas, concepts and findings in any area of neuropsychology. As an on-line journal, it provides an unparalleled opportunity to present information to specialists and the public by young researchers. Finally it focalizes the specific research methodology of neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and magnetic field study. The journal is interdisciplinary and aims to integrate the neurosciences and psychological sciences.

It publishes paper in different forms: research paper; theoretical, methodological and review paper; case report and brief communication. Also, special issue may be proposed to the Editors.

Need for a new journal

«Neuropsychological Trends» publishes original contributions to scientific knowledge in neuropsychology and neuroscience, and it provides an interdisciplinary forum on new trends on neuropsychology and psychophysiology. There is a growing dissatisfaction with fragmentation in theoretical perspectives on neuropsychology and without doubt there is a felt need for a journal containing articles which aim to integrate these fragmented ideas, theories and methods. We place particular emphasis on the fact that informed discussion of neuropsychology needs to be interdisciplinary.

The journal aims to introduce new ideas on the field of biological bases of behaviour and of the neurological perspectives applied to psychological processes. Specifically it intends to offer an ample space for innovative research methodologies and new theoretical views on the neuropsychological discipline. Methodological discussion will constitute a main topic of the journal. Specific attention will be given to the development of new theories and/or research methodologies applicable to group and single-case studies.

The journal is interested in basic and applied research and aims at opening up new avenues for the understanding, explaining, and treatment of neuropsychological issues. Specifically, Neuropsychological Trends will consider articles from any area of neuropsychological and neuroscience research, including, but not limited to: cognitive neuropsychology, clinical neuropsychology, neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and research techniques (fMRI; ERPs, PET).

The main topics proposed are:
r
 sensation and perception consciousness
r
 learning and memory
r
 communication and language
r
 motivation and emotion
r
 methodology of research (electroencephalography; brain imaging; behavioural measures)
