《神經(jīng)心理學》是一份國際性的跨學科雜志，致力于從神經(jīng)科學的角度促進對人類認知和行為的理解的實驗和理論貢獻。該雜志將考慮發(fā)表一些研究，將大腦功能與認知過程直接聯(lián)系起來，包括感知、注意力和意識、行動和運動控制、執(zhí)行功能和認知控制、記憶、語言、情感和社會認知。強烈鼓勵使用功能和結(jié)構(gòu)神經(jīng)成像、認知電生理學和腦刺激等方法提交論文，以顯著促進認知和心理理論的發(fā)展。神經(jīng)心理學在發(fā)表損傷缺陷研究方面有著悠久的歷史，這些研究仍然非常適合發(fā)表在雜志上。提交動物研究也是受歡迎的，只要它們對理解人類認知和行為的大腦基礎(chǔ)有直接和明確的影響。在神經(jīng)健康的參與者中采用純行為方法的研究不適合發(fā)表在期刊上，除非研究結(jié)果對支持認知和行為的神經(jīng)機制或系統(tǒng)的理解有直接和重要的影響。對臨床人群的研究，主要是描述性的或旨在闡明臨床障礙，或評估治療干預(yù)，是不適合的雜志。定期出版特刊和評論文章，為讀者提供有關(guān)重要課題的權(quán)威調(diào)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.
