<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">Computational modelling may provide an increasingly important tool for furthering neuropsychology and understanding brain impairments – but there remain
many issues: how can different types of lesion be best modelled? What are the differences between damage to grey matter and to fibre tracts? What the effects of learning within damaged systems or systems where there is an imbalance in neurotransmitters?</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">For this reason a special issue that brings together state-of-the-art papers on the computational modelling of neuropsychological disorders, with papers
covering different levels of modelling (from spiking neurons to higher-level connectionist modelling), using imaging as well as behavioural data, and addressing a number of different disorders (attention, language, memory etc.) is expended to contribute significantly
to the field of Neuropsychology and Computational Neuroscience.<i></i></font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">In collaboration with Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, we are organizing a Research Topic titled "Neuropsychology through the lenses of computational modelling”, hosted
by Eirini Mavritsaki, Glyn Humphreys. As host editor, I would like to encourage you to contribute to this topic.</font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">Frontiers, a Swiss open-access publisher, recently partnered with Nature Publishing Group to expand its researcher-driven Open Science platform. Frontiers articles are rigorously
peer-reviewed, can be disseminated freely and are widely read by your colleagues and by the broader scientific and medical research communities.</font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">The idea behind a research topic is to create an organized, comprehensive collection of several contributions, as well as a forum for discussion and debate. Contributions can be
articles describing original research, methods, hypothesis & theory, opinions, etc.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">We have created a homepage on the Frontiers website (Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience) where all articles will appear after peer-review and where participants in the topic
will be able to hold relevant discussions:</font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">Frontiers will also compile an e-book, as soon as all contributing articles are published, that can be used in classes, be sent to foundations that fund your research, to journalists
and press agencies, or to any number of other organizations.</font></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:14.2666664123535px"><font size="2">As such, a manuscript accepted for publication incurs a publishing fee, which varies depending on the article type. Research Topic manuscripts receive a significant discount on
publishing fees. Please take a look at this fee table: http://www.frontiersin.org/about/PublishingFees.</font></span></p>
