Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Diagnostics, we are seeking contributions that explore and test functional imaging methods for the evaluation of neurobehavioral conditions. Many cognitive and psychological disorders do not have stereotypic neuroanatomical profiles. Nonetheless, this does not exclude the possibility of characteristic functional profiles that may be useful for diagnosis or monitoring of progress. Functional neuroimaging methods may provide insights into a range of neurobehavioral conditions, such as age-related cognitive impairment and learning disabilities that are not detectable by neuropsychological testing. Conversely, functional imaging evaluations may result in data that are ambiguous and difficult to interpret. Thus, critical investigation of how functional neuroimaging may be used in the diagnosis of neurobehavioral conditions is in need as a prerequisite for clinical adoption.
We welcome the submission of original research and review articles including, but not limited to the following topics:
- Early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases;
- Characterization of learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders;
- Detection of psychosis risk;
- Longitudinal monitoring of traumatic brain injury or stroke recovery;
- Functional imaging markers for response to pharmacological treatment or behavioral interventions.
