Aim & Scope
The Neuroscience and Cognitive Sciences Journal (NGSJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Inkwise Press. It publishes research on the brain, behaviour and cognition, at every level from molecules to behaviour and in both health and disease.
Some of the most interesting questions sit between disciplines, so we welcome work that brings together biology, psychology, computation and clinical practice.
Scope
NGSJ publishes original research articles, review articles, case studies and short communications in areas including, but not limited to:
- Cellular and molecular neuroscience
- Cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology
- Behavioural and social neuroscience
- Neuroimaging and brain mapping
- Computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics
- Learning, memory and neuroplasticity
- Neural engineering and brain–computer interfaces
- Cognitive modelling and artificial intelligence
- Neuropharmacology and neurophysiology
- Clinical neuroscience and neurodegenerative disorders
- Developmental and educational neuroscience
