2020 marked 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: Rapid acquisition of novel written word-forms
Novel word acquisition is generally believed to be a rapid process, essential for ensuring a flexible and efficient communication system; at least in spoken language, learners are able to construct memory traces for new linguistic stimuli after just a few exposures. However, such rapid word learning has not been systematically found in visual domain, with different confounding factors obscuring the orthographic learning of novel words.
This study explored the changes in human brain activity occurring online, during a brief training with novel written word-forms using a silent reading task
