About this Research Topic
Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Aging Neuroscience, with articles from the Associate Members of our accomplished Editorial Boards. This editorial initiative, led by Dr. Kristy Nielson, Specialty Chief Editor of Neurocognitive Aging and Behavior, together with Associate Editors Dr. Ian McDonough and Dr. Anja Soldan, endeavors to highlight novel insights and discoveries, current challenges, and future perspectives in the field of Neurocognitive Aging and Behavior.
This Research Topic, "Insights in Neurocognitive Aging and Behavior" solicits brief, theoretically driven and forward-looking contributions from the editorial board members that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and particular advancements that need to occur to enhance our understanding of brain-cognition and brain-behavior relationships. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. Submissions should include a strong emphasis on neural foundations.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed significant new light on the progress made in the past decade in the Neurocognitive Aging and Behavior field, and on its future challenges and directions. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
Papers that target these objectives may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• Neuroimaging
• Psychophysiology
• Genetics, Lifestyle, Behavioral, and Environmental Factors
• Emotion Processing and Regulation
• Individual Differences
• Risk Factors and Early Detection for Cognitive Decline and Dementia
Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease, behavior, biomarker, cognition, dementia, EEG, epigenetics, falsification, fMRI, fNIRS, health aging, health disparities, lifespan, longitudinal, MEG, MRI, preclinical
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
