Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroimaging facilitates the diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The field has made remarkable advances over the past few years, fueled by a variety of converging technical and data developments. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary technique used for addressing each neurological symptom and underlying psychological factor via a mixture of medical management, psychotherapy, and supportive interventions. Recent advances in neuroimaging and a deeper exploration of its epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation have shed new light on this disorder.
Neuroimaging provides a window to observe “in vivo” brain structure and function. Functional neuroimaging, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and single photon emission tomography, may facilitate the identification of therapeutic targets, optimize drug therapy, and potentially inform clinical trials.
For this Special Issue, we welcome all papers related to the application of neuroimaging techniques for the treatment of all kinds of neurological disorders. We encourage the submission of the following types of papers: original papers, comprehensive reviews, short reports, communications, perspectives, opinions, clinical trials, etc.
Dr. Darrin J. Lee
