Brain and Language

Aims & Scope

An interdisciplinary journal, Brain and Language publishes articles that elucidate the complex relationships among language, brain, and behavior.

The journal covers the large variety of modern techniques in cognitive neuroscience, including functional and structural brain imaging, electrophysiology, cellular and molecular neurobiology, genetics, lesion-based approaches, and computational modeling.

All articles must relate to human language and be relevant to the understanding of its neurobiological and neurocognitive bases.

Published articles in the journal are expected to have significant theoretical novelty and/or practical implications, and use perspectives and methods from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience along with brain data and brain measures.
