Dear Dr KS MCGREW,

As a recent published author in Neuroscience, you will be interested to know the new journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience is calling for papers for the special issue:

Education and Neuroscience
Edited by: Silvia Bunge and Sarah-Jayne Blakemore
Volume 2, Issue 1, 2012

We believe the special issue will make a significant impact on rapidly-evolving methodologies and body of findings. The editors hope you will join them and they would be delighted to consider a paper submitted by you and your team.

Contribute to the Special Issue

The goal of this special issue is to collect a series of papers that address key aspects of Education and Neuroscience.

Topics for the Special Issue may include:

• Sensitive periods and environmental influences on brain development; implications for educational practice and policy

• Neuroscience of language comprehension and reading: development, individual differences, disorders, implications for education

• Neuroscience of numeracy and mathematical abilities: development, individual differences, disorders, implications for education

• Neuroscience of emotion, social cognition, motivational and affective processes: development, individual differences, disorders, implications for education

• Development of neurocognitive functions that support scholastic achievement: working memory, long-term memory, cognitive control, reasoning

• Training of cognitive processes relevant to educational attainment: underlying neural processes and implications for education

Submit your article via our online submission system
Submission Deadline: 30th May 2011

The special issue will contain papers that report new empirical data acquired using neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques. The editors will consider papers that report data which may not be strictly developmental, but which have relevance to development and implications for educational neuroscience and learning in an educational setting. Please note that papers reporting purely behavioural data do not fall within the remit of DCN and will not be considered.

Thanks in advance for considering this.
