Cognitive Neuropsychology aims to promote the investigation of human cognition that is based on neuropsychological methods including brain pathology, recording, stimulation, brain imaging or the study of developmental deficits. The research can involve brain-lesioned or neurologically-intact adults, children or non-human animals as long as it uses neural data to make explicit contributions to our understanding of normal human cognitive processes and representations. Cognition is understood broadly to include the domains of perception, attention, decision-making, executive control, planning, language, memory and action. In addition, the journal is now accepting submissions in the area of Translational Cognitive Neuropsychology. This section of the journal promotes research that is motivated by cognitive theory and in which the novel contribution is primarily of clinical significance. The research must have relevance to theories of cognitive processing and representation and significantly advance understanding of the diagnosis, treatment or neural bases of cognitive deficits.

Cognitive Neuroscience

About the journal

Cognitive Neuroscience

Scott Slotnick — Boston College, USA

Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality discussion papers and empirical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including perception, attention, memory, language, action, social cognition, and executive function. The journal covers findings based on a variety of techniques such as fMRI, ERPs, MEG, TMS, and focal lesion studies. Contributions that employ or discuss multiple techniques to shed light on the spatial-temporal brain mechanisms underlying a cognitive process are encouraged.

The journal fills an important niche in the market by publishing shorter Reports with fast reviewing and rapid online publication. In addition, longer Discussion Papers will evaluate current hot topics in the field with critical analysis in the form of peer commentary.

Social Neuroscience

About the journal

Social Neuroscience

6 issues per year

Listed in the Journal Citation Reports

Editor: Paul EslingerPenn State Hershey Medical Center, USA Social Neuroscience features original empirical Research Papers as well as targeted Reviews, Commentaries, and Fast Track Brief Reports that examine how the brain mediates social behavior, social cognition, social interactions and relationships, group social dynamics, and related topics that deal with social/interpersonal psychology and neurobiology. Multi-paper symposia and special topic issues are organized and presented regularly as well.

The goal of Social Neuroscience is to provide a place to publish empirical articles that intend to further our understanding of the neural mechanisms contributing to the development and maintenance of social behaviors, or to understanding how these mechanisms are disrupted in clinical disorders.

Submissions from all branches of neuroscience are welcome, including (but not limited to) bio/neuropsychology, pharmacology, genetics, neuroendocrinology, evolution, psychiatry, neurology, aging, and translational social neuroscience. Experimental investigations of human subjects and animal models are encouraged. Further, submissions are sought that present brain-based empirical data in the fields of social and cognitive psychology, including social cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, lifespan developmental, and other humanities areas.

Articles published in Social Neuroscience cover all neuroscience techniques including neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and stimulation methods (e.g. morphometry, fMRI, PET, ERP, TMS), as well as more traditional neuroscience techniques such as animal models, clinical case studies, clinical neurologic, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric populations, post-mortem studies, and behavioral neuropharmacology. Social Neuroscience does not publish articles that report only behavioral data.

The journal focuses on both molar (i.e. regional cortical localization, neural networks) and molecular (i.e. neurotransmitter) research. A broad range of social behaviors are covered including all aspects of inter- and intra-individual relationships. Investigations of environmental and genetic influences on social neurobiology are encouraged. Studies of abnormal social behaviors and social impairments in clinical populations (e.g. traumatic brain injury, stroke, dementia, schizophrenia) are focused on in terms of understanding social/brain relationships. Language, memory, attention, and perception are appropriate topics if they relate to specific social behaviors or cognitions.
