Psychology & Neuroscience: the birth of a new journal

Psychology & Neuroscience is an initiative of a Brazilian neuroscience group with an educational background in psychology and working in psychological departments. The initial purpose of the journal was to improve the impact of neuroscientific knowledge in psychological education, since intersection between psychology and neuroscience in Brazil and other Latin American countries is still incipient. Therefore, a neuroscience journal coming from the perspective of psychology would certainly underscore the importance of housing neuroscience research in psychology departments. For that reason, we decided to create Psychology & Neuroscience as an international journal using English as the main language of publication.
