Neuropsychology ® publishes original, empirical research; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; and theoretical articles on the relation between brain and human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral function.

All submissions with implications for neuropsychological research, theory, and practice are welcome.

Articles that increase understanding of neuropsychological functions in both healthy and disordered states and across the lifespan are encouraged. Articles that adopt an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach that reflects the multiple levels of analysis needed to understand brain-behavior relationships are especially welcome. Case studies will be considered if they raise or illustrate important questions about brain-behavior relationships and neuropsychological function that go beyond the single case.

Neuropsychology focuses both on basic research and on applied, clinical research, to stimulate systematic investigation into brain-behavior relationships and to improve clinical practice.

Neuropsychology seeks to communicate the best research and ideas in the field from throughout the world.

Disclaimer: APA and the editors of Neuropsychology assume no responsibility for statements and opinions advanced by the authors of its articles.
