Brain Sciences | Highly Cited Papers in 2024 for the “Neuropsychology” Section
The “Neuropsychology” Section of Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) aims to foster research on the relationship between the brain and human cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functions. Neuropsychological testing typically assesses individual performance in several areas, including sensorimotor functions, perception, attention, spatial construction, intelligence, executive functions, memory, language, motivation, emotion, and quality of life. We encourage articles that focus on neuropsychological functions in both healthy and disordered states across the lifespan. Topics of interest include developmental areas, such as ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities, as well as adult studies that examine the cognitive and emotional consequences of conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, and progressive diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease. We also welcome contributions that explore the development and testing of neuropsychological interventions. We envision original empirical research based on both clinical and experimental neuropsychological paradigms, along with systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical articles. Additionally, we will consider case studies that highlight critical questions on the relationship between the brain and human behaviour.
All articles published in our journal are available in an open access format, granting you unrestricted access to the full free text. We invite you to explore our most highly cited papers in 2024, listed below as follows:
