Editorial: Reviews in neuropsychology

In the ever-evolving landscape of scientific inquiry, the discipline of neuropsychology stands as a beacon guiding our understanding of the intricate relationship between the human mind, behavior, and the underlying neural substrates. As we step into the new millennium, marked by unprecedented global challenges, the field of neuropsychology finds itself at the forefront of addressing the cognitive and behavioral impacts of the pandemic (Bartoli et al., 2020; Palermo, 2020) and post-pandemic era (Amanzio et al., 2021, 2022). The beginning of the 21st century has brought forth a myriad of challenges, notably exacerbated by the recent global pandemic. These challenges necessitate a reevaluation of our approaches to neuropsychological research and clinical applications. The disruptions caused by the pandemic have highlighted the urgency of understanding the profound impact of stress, isolation, and uncertainty on cognitive function and mental health (Morese and Palermo, 2022; Morellini et al., 2023). Reviews in Neuropsychology is a Research Topic that serves as a testament of our commitment to advancing the frontiers of knowledge in this critical field. The collection of high-quality scholarly review articles within this Research Topics aims not only to showcase recent advances but also to illuminate unexplored avenues for future inquiries. The Research Topics demonstrate our dedication to exploring the association between cognitive-behavioral manifestations in both healthy and pathological subjects and their corresponding neural underpinnings. From clinical and observational tools to cutting-edge techniques such as electrophysiology and neuroimaging, our goal is to unravel the mysteries of the brain and its intricate interplay with cognition and behavior. Beyond the traditional boundaries of neuropsychology, we extend our scope to encompass its intersection with education. This extension recognizes the importance of bridging the realms of neuroscience, neuropsychology, and education—a linkage ripe for exploration in the pursuit of a comprehensive understanding of human cognition.
