This year marks a decade and a half since the launch of Behavioral and Brain Functions as a leader in the field of cognitive and behavioral neuroscience.
Take a look back at fifteen years of research highlights here.
Aims and Scope
A well-established journal in the field of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, Behavioral and Brain Functions welcomes manuscripts which provide insight into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying behavior and brain function, or dysfunction. The journal gives priority to manuscripts that combine both neurobiology and behavior in a non-clinical manner.
Featured article: Commercial video games and cognitive functions
Unlike the emphasis on negative results of video games such as the impulsive engagement in video games, cognitive training studies in individuals with cognitive deficits shows that characteristics of video game elements were helpful to train cognitive functions.
The findings of this review suggest that commercial video games have the potential for cognitive function enhancement.
