Neuropsychologia is an international interdisciplinary journal devoted to experimental, clinical and theoretical contributions
that advance understanding of human cognition and behavior from a neuroscience perspective. Thus, the journal will consider for publication
studies that explicitly address functional aspects of the brain and use data to link neural processes with perception, attention and
awareness, action and motor control, executive functions and cognitive control, memory, language, and emotion and social cognition. Neuropsychologia
has a long tradition of publishing studies on patients with brain lesions. While continuing this tradition, we would like also to strongly
encourage submission of papers using other appropriate methodologies. These include, but are not limited to, functional neuroimaging,
cognitive electrophysiology, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Studies exploring brain and behaviour in primates or other animals
are also welcome, provided they have an impact on understanding human cognition and behavior and this impact is explicitly specified
in the report. Finally, "neurodevelopmental", "neuropsychiatric" and "neurogenetic" studies are appropriate, provided the link between
the findings in such studies and normal brain function is direct, compelling and explicit. Studies of clinical populations that are primarily
descriptive or intended to elucidate a clinical disorder, or that evaluate a therapeutic intervention, are not appropriate for the journal.
Special issues and Review Papers are published regularly with the objective of providing authoritative surveys of topics of major interest.

M.D. Rugg
Special Issue: Perception and Action
Special Issue: Episodic Memory and the Brain
We are very pleased to announce Dr Michael Rugg (UC Irvine) as the new Editor-in-Chief of
Neuropsychologia. Dr Rugg is now also one of the two Editors for the "Memory" section. We thank Andrew Mayes for the considerable time and effort he put into the Editorship over the last fours years, during which time submissions doubled and the journal moved from a two Editor-in-Chief system to the current one EiC and Board of Section Editors configuration. Coinciding with Dr Rugg?s appointment is a re-statement of the journal?s desire to be seen as an outlet for not only brain lesion studies, but also studies using other appropriate methodologies, such as functional neuroimaging, cognitive electrophysiology and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The new, enhanced aims and scope can be read above and at the start of the Guide for Authors.
