Brain Sciences | Highly Cited Papers in 2023 in the Section “Neuropsychology”


The “Neuropsychology” Section of Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) aims to bring together research on the relationship between the brain and human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. Neuropsychological testing typically evaluates individual functioning in a number of areas, including sensorimotor functions, perception, attention, spatial construction, intelligence, executive functions, memory, language, motivation, emotion, and quality of life. Articles focusing on neuropsychological functions in both healthy and disordered states and across the lifespan are encouraged. Topic areas include both developmental (e.g., ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities) and adult studies (e.g., cognitive and affective consequences of stroke and traumatic brain injury, as well as progressive conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease). Contributions dealing with the development and testing of neuropsychological interventions are also encouraged. Original empirical research based on both clinical and experimental neuropsychological paradigms, as well as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical articles, is envisaged. Case studies illustrating important questions about brain–behavior relationships will also be considered.

As all of the articles published in our journal are of an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2023, listed below.
