The “Neuropsychology” Section of Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) aims to consolidate research on the relationship between the brain and human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral function. 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.
