Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a substantial public health issue, representing a leading cause of death and disability. Aside from the acute risk to life, TBI increases the risk of chronic neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The diagnosis, management, and prognosis of TBI can thus be challenging, necessitating advances in biomarker development and multimodal assessment as well as novel therapies.
This Special Issue, entitled "Traumatic Brain Injury and Associated Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Diagnosis/Prognosis and Therapeutics", aims to collate cutting-edge research on innovations in TBI and its associated spectrum of neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions.
We welcome contributions of preclinical and clinical studies exploring, but not limited to, the following:
-Advanced diagnostic and prognostic tools, including AI-assisted analysis;
-Risk stratification and prognostic models in neurotrauma and neurodegeneration;
-Novel molecular or imaging biomarkers and therapeutic strategies;
-Cross-disciplinary approaches, e.g., linking cellular and molecular biology to physiology and behavior.
