In this inaugural editorial, as the new editor of Neuropsychology, I would like to describe my vision and priorities for the journal. My vision is to build on Neuropsychology's strengths and successes to date while also anticipating the changes needed to remain one of the leading journals in the field of neuropsychology. The most critical element in a journal's success is its content. Neuropsychology is characterized by amazing breadth, spanning basic and clinical science across the life span. The journal is extremely relevant to society and public health, given the high incidence of neurological disease and brain injury, as well as the resulting human, economic, and societal costs associated with them. At the same time, neuropsychological research also can provide important insights into more positive aspects of human function, such as resilience, creativity, altruism, and friendship, and thereby help to understand and promote wellness. Thus, Neuropsychology will continue to provide an outlet for the most interesting and highest quality science in human brain-behavior relationships that seeks to increase our understanding of neuropsychological functions in both healthy and disordered states.
