Here, the sentences S and P has strong association. the 'it' at the start of P refer to the journal Brain and Cognition. The 1st sentence is R as it continues the idea of interest in the neurophysiology in S1. This idea is followed by Q which is indicated by the usage of 'since then' referring to the years after 1960s and 'this area of research' which refers to neurophysiology. Hence RQSP.
