Brain And Cognition

Journal Title：Brain And Cognition

Brain and Cognition is a forum for the integration of the neurosciences and cognitive sciences. B&C publishes peer-reviewed research articles, theoretical papers, case histories that address important theoretical issues, and historical articles into the interaction between cognitive function and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in cognition. Coverage includes, but is not limited to memory, learning, emotion, perception, movement, music or praxis in relationship to brain structure or function. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of cognitive function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import, formulating new hypotheses or refuting previously established hypotheses. Clinical papers are welcome if they raise issues of theoretical importance or concern and shed light on the interaction between brain function and cognitive function. We welcome review articles that clearly contribute a new perspective or integration, beyond summarizing the literature in the field; authors of review articles should make explicit where the contribution lies. We also welcome proposals for special issues on aspects of the relation between cognition and the structure and function of the nervous system. Such proposals can be made directly to the Editor-in-Chief from individuals interested in being guest editors for such collections.

《大脑与认知》是整合神经科学和认知科学的论坛。B&C 发表同行评审的研究文章、理论论文、解决重要理论问题的案例历史以及关于认知功能和大脑过程之间相互作用的历史文章。重点是严谨的经验或理论研究，这些研究为我们关于神经系统在认知中的作用的知识做出了原创贡献。报道范围包括但不限于与大脑结构或功能相关的记忆、学习、情感、感知、运动、音乐或实践。已发表的文章通常会解决将认知功能的某些方面与其神经基础联系起来的问题，具有明确的理论意义，提出新的假设或反驳先前建立的假设。如果临床论文提出了具有理论重要性或令人担忧的问题，并阐明了大脑功能和认知功能之间的相互作用，我们将受到欢迎。我们欢迎那些除了总结该领域的文献之外，还明确贡献了新观点或整合的评论文章；评论文章的作者应该明确说明贡献所在。我们也欢迎就认知与神经系统结构和功能之间的关系提出特别专题提案。有兴趣担任此类合集客座编辑的个人可以直接向主编提出此类提案。

Brain And Cognition创刊于1982年，由Academic Press Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 神经科学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 约16.5周，影响因子指数2.2，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
