Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the neuroscience of higher-order cognition are exciting and intriguing. In humans and non-humans, neural systems exist to support cognitive strategies that navigate the world, often engaging the self in relation to the world. These relationships can be social (e.g., conflict resolution, mating, etc.) or non-social (estimating task success). In this Special Issue of Brain Sciences, we welcome review and original articles addressing issues of the self, which could include introspection, Theory of Mind and motor perception. Additionally, this Special Issue welcomes cutting-edge research from all branches, including (but not limited to) comparative studies, neuroimaging, case studies and molecular and behavioral genetics. Papers that focus on disorders are also encouraged. These could include (but, again, are not limited to) autism, Williams syndrome and narcissism. We are excited to receive your articles. Original research is encouraged, but review papers will also be accepted.
Prof. Dr. Julian Keenan
Guest Editor
