Introduction to the RCC Perspectives issue and the conference where the papers originated. Russell discusses some of the diverse opportunities and pitfalls that neurohistory may face in the future: What ideas and methods have neuroscientists developed that historians can use to shed a new light on the past (and vice versa)? What new research questions can neuroscience suggest for historians (and vice versa)? What are the biggest challenges in developing neurohistory as a field, and how can they be overcome? How might neurohistory shed light on the interaction between people and their environments, in both the past and the present?
