PURPOSE
«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) ________

and perception, learning, memory, information processing, evolution and development
of behaviour, communication and language, motivation and emotion, interhemispheric
relations, methodology.
