Special Issue on Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience

Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the scientific study of the neural mechanisms. Cognition is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. Emotion is thought to be related to activity in brain areas that direct our attention, motivate our behavior, and determine the significance of what is going on around us.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Brain structures related to emotion
• Motivation and emotion
• Neurocognitive function
• Chronic coma
• Anosognosia
• Consciousness
• Social cognition

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience” should be selected during your submission.
