About the journal

The Revista de Neuro-Psiquiatría (RNP) (Journal of Neuro-Psychiatry – RNP, by its acronym in Spanish) is a publication sponsored by the Alberto Hurtado Faculty of Medicine (FMAH) of the Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia (UPCH). It is a specialized journal in the field of neurosciences, neurology, psychiatry and mental health; it is peer-reviewed, open access, edited and published quarterly from the FMAH-UPCH. The RNP receives unpublished manuscripts in Spanish, English and Portuguese, which have not been submitted in parallel to other journals, and which contribute to the academic debate on psychiatry, neurology, neurosciences, mental health, behavioral sciences, child psychiatry and pediatric neurology. It is organized in sections according to the following forms of publication: editorial, original article, review article, special article, short communications, case reports, letters to the editor and in memoriam.

The RNP was founded in 1938 by Honorio Delgado (1892-1969) and Julio Óscar Trelles (1904-1990). These two illustrious Peruvian physicians (psychiatrist and neurologist, respectively) were the ones who historically led the development of their specialties in Peru and Latin America and who forged the journal. RNP's continuity has the vital halo infused by its founders, directors and editorial staff. It is considered the oldest of its kind in the country.
