Dear Colleagues,

Geriatric neuropsychology focuses on the relationship between cognition, the brain, patients' clinical status, and risk and protective factors. Playing a significant role in supporting older adults, it can aid with diagnostic elucidation, including the distinction between cognitive decline associated with normal aging or pathological processes. It can also identify mood alterations and psychopathological processes that compromise autonomy. Additionally, it helps clarify the factors that contribute to successful aging. Geriatric neuropsychology also facilitates the development and implementation of intervention strategies that promote cognitive, emotional, and functional resilience within older adults, providing evidence-based interventions to optimize older adults' quality of life.

This Special Issue will provide a resource for clinicians, incorporating recent research and information from geriatric neuropsychology and related disciplines. Original research and theoretical contributions (reviews, hypotheses, and opinion articles on future directions) are welcome.

Dr. Sara Palermo
Guest Editor
