Journal

 Dear Colleague,

One of the many benefits of membership in the Society for Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology (SBCN) is a remarkable 60% discount on your subscription to the Society’s journal, Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology.  The regular U.S. individual rate is $356 (international $415).  With the special discount, available only to SBCN members, you’ll receive this unique journal for only $140/year.

If you are not yet familiar with the journal, let me explain how it can enhance your practice and research.

Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology is an innovative forum for advances in the neurologic understanding of cognition, behavior, and their disorders, as well as possible treatments.  Each quarterly issue might present therapeutic trials and other experimental and observational studies, experimental and observational case reports, brief reports, review articles (including reviews of clinical practice), first-person accounts of neurologic conditions, position papers, hypotheses, opinion papers, commentary, historical perspectives, book reviews, instructional articles for interested students and for professionals in other fields, and cutting-edge articles that do not fit neatly into any category.

Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology is distinct for its patient-oriented perspective.  In its interests and the expertise that it reflects, the journal is uniquely positioned among mainstream neurology and psychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, and research psychology.

Here’s a sampling of recent articles:

• Empathic deficits in combat veterans with traumatic brain injury: a voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping study, David M. Driscoll, Olga Dal Monte, Jeffrey Solomon, Frank Krueger, and Jordan Grafman
