Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Cortex investigates neural processes underlying perception, cognition, and memory. Research explores how the brain processes sensory information, including auditory and visual stimuli, and how these processes are affected by factors like age, injury, and individual differences in mental imagery. The journal also examines motor skill acquisition, language comprehension, and the neural basis of conditions such as aphantasia and highly superior autobiographical memory.
