Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to bring together original research, reviews, and meta-analyses exploring the integration of neuroimaging features in relation to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychiatric and addictive disorders.
The scope of this issue includes studies on neuroimaging, neural mechanisms, and the identification of biomarkers. Submissions on forensic psychiatry, psychotherapy, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), substance use disorder (SUD), and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are particularly encouraged, with a focus on evaluating clinical outcomes and correlates of human brain function. Key areas of interest include functional and structural imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, PET, EEG). Furthermore, translational research linking imaging findings to therapeutic applications, including psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions, as well as studies exploring the implementation of artificial intelligence, are also considered.
Multimodal data analyses on imaging genetics, transcriptomics, and computational psychiatry shall highlight emerging trends and unmet needs for personalized medicine, fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and forensic experts. By providing a platform for integrative and multidisciplinary approaches, we aim to advance the understanding of psychiatric and addictive disorders.
We welcome manuscript suggestions on these topics and encourage authors to contact the editors for a pre-arrangement regarding their submissions before preparing their manuscripts.
Dr. Arkadiusz Komorowski
