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.

Special Issue: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Social Behaviour
Special Issue: Functional Neuroimaging of Memory
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 elsewhere in this issue.
