Aim and Scope

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience publishes research that advances our understanding of the brain mechanisms supporting cognitive and social behaviour in humans, in both healthy and diseased states. It is indexed in PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus, Web of Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Led by Field Chief Editors Srikantan S Nagarajan (University of California, USA) and Jessica A Turner (The Ohio State University, USA), this multidisciplinary journal expands our knowledge of the brain’s mechanisms supporting cognitive processes and social behaviour in humans, including memory, attention, language, and perception. Additionally, this journal provides a forum for studies that show how these processes unfold during development, mature in adulthood, and often decline in ageing.

The journal welcomes submissions spanning all areas of human cognitive, social, developmental and translational neuroscience using any research approach. Topics include:

• brain health and clinical neuroscience
• brain imaging and stimulation
• brain-computer interfaces
• cognitive neuroscience
• interacting minds and brains
• motor neuroscience
• sensory neuroscience
• speech and language.

Similarly crucial, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience encourages contributions that support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3: good health and well-being; SDG 4: quality education; and SDG 10: reduced inequalities.

Manuscripts that focus solely on clinical or medical aspects of human health, such as disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, without a foundation in neuroscience are not suitable for publication in this journal. Similarly, studies that primarily focus on public health issues, epidemiology, or health policy without a foundation in the understanding of the human brain and its functions are outside the scope of this journal.
