Book Description

This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to aid in the classification; diagnosis; visualization; prognosis and treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders using brain imaging methods. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance the science. The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty and the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of novel brain imaging methods that aid clinicians in handling neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders as described above. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors. Frontiers in Neuroscience supports the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 3:160018, 2016). This Research Topic welcomes: • Methods: Describing new methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data. • Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work. • Perspective or General Commentaries on brain imaging methods and protocols relevant for aiding in the handling of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. • Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
