Neuropsychology in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites original articles to update the knowledge on neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, atypical Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Studies that assess cognitive functions such as learning, memory, attention, information processing, theory of mind or emotional recognition as well as intervention studies aiming to improve neuropsychological or neuropsychiatric complications in neurodegenerative disease are welcome. We specifically encourage novel strategies which enable and may even facilitate cognitive assessment in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.  Studies that aim to shed light on the physiologic and metabolic mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation or genetics in neurodegenerative diseases, are also welcome.

Research areas may include but are not limited to the following: experimental psychology, developmental psychology, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, movement disorders, functional brain imaging, and computer science.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Atbin Djamshidian
Guest Editor
