Neurofunctional and Neurochemical Signatures of Emotional and Cognitive Processes and Competencies

Dear Colleagues,

For the past decades, neuroimaging methods have provided us with the chance to investigate the neural underpinnings of cognitive, emotional, and even social processes. Based on this research, this Special Issue is dedicated to presenting a collection of high-quality theoretical/research articles providing new insights into neurofunctional and neurochemical signatures of these processes in healthy and clinical populations. We therefore welcome novel research findings from cognitive, affective, social, clinical, and computational neuroscience, not only investigating these signatures but also modulating them pharmacologically or via brain stimulation techniques. With regard to the format of papers, we will consider research articles, opinion/perspective articles, and review articles (systematic review, meta-analysis).
