The European Journal of Cognitive Psychology invites manuscripts for a special issue on Ageing, Cognition, and Neuroscience. Ageing is a universal complex multifaceted process that profoundly affects mind and brain of all individuals. Important discoveries are being made at different levels of research on cognitive aging: from the molecular/genetic level, to the cell, the synapse, the network, and the processing of information at the cognitive level. The ultimate goal in cognitive neuroscience is to understand this whole set of stages. We are not yet there. Most studies conducted so far have collected data at single levels only. One ambition with this Special Issue is to encourage researchers to report cognitive data that are related to neural data at other levels. The research reported may be empirical, theoretical or computational. It may focus on normal cognitive aging or pathology.
The guest editors of this special issue are Soledad Ballesteros, Lars-Göran Nilsson and Patrick Lemaire. The deadline for receipt papers is October 1, 2007. Papers can be submitted by e-mail to reviews@psypress.co.uk and further details on manuscript submission and instructions for authors can be found on the Journal website at www.psychopress.co.uk/ecp. Please, specify in your cover letter that the submission is intended for this special issue. All papers will be peer-reviewed.
