Special Issue on Neuropsychology

As a relatively new discipline within the field of psychology, neuropsychology studies the structure and function of the brain as they relate to specific psychological processes and behaviors. It is seen as a clinical and experimental field of psychology that aims to study, assess, understand and treat behaviors directly related to brain functioning. The term neuropsychology has been applied to lesion studies in humans and animals. It has also been applied to efforts to record electrical activity from individual cells (or groups of cells) in higher primates (including some studies of human patients). It is scientific in its approach, making use of neuroscience, and shares an information processing view of the mind with cognitive psychology and cognitive science.

The issue on “Neuropsychology” will be focusing on the latest development in all areas of neuropsychology. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: clinical and research studies with neurological, psychiatric and psychological patient populations in all age groups; behavioral or pharmacological treatment regimes; cognitive experimentation and neuroimaging; multidisciplinary approach embracing areas such as developmental psychology, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, endocrinology, pharmacology and imaging science.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Neuropsychology.
