Brain Sciences | Highly Cited Papers in 2022 and 2023 in the “Neurotechnology and Neuroimaging” Section

The mission of the “Neurotechnology and Neuroimaging” Section is to publish original observations and critical reviews on conventional and advanced bio-imaging, functional MRI, OCT, and PET, and other novel, technology-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. In recent years, neurotechnology has emerged as a fast-developing, exciting, and promising new field with the potential to change our existing approach to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Our scope is to understand neuronal biology, degeneration, regeneration, and organization of neural circuits in disabling neurological diseases. Manuscripts on neuroplasticity, synaptic connectivity, in vivo imaging and imaging biomarkers, optogenetics, and different forms of neuromodulation are particularly welcome.

As all of the articles published in our journal are of an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2022 and 2023, listed below.
