Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background & history of this topic: Biological markers represent quantitative measures providing information about disease phases and progress as well as response to treatment. Detecting specific biomarkers may augment the understanding of the aetiology and pathogenesis, with particular emphasis on the preclinical and premorbid phases of the disease. Specifically, the study of biomarkers in the brain may refine the way psychiatric and neurological conditions are diagnosed, leading to more effective and personalized treatments.
Aim and scope of the special issue: Giving the promising potential in neuroscience biomarkers and personalized medicine, the aim of this Special Issue is to improve the scientific evidence surrounding neurocognitive and psychiatric disorders to provide significant data for early diagnosis and effective treatment. We encourage authors to submit papers pertaining to neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer’s disease. An area of special emphasis is the brain–behaviour relationship in aging science, too, with particular focus on cognitive and motor predictors of decline. Manuscripts reporting scientific efforts made to identify biomarkers for prevention, diagnosis, and drug and psychotherapy treatment response in psychiatric patients are also welcome.
Cutting-edge research: The aim here is to explore and treat the mechanisms of the central nervous system to further understand neural and behavioural processes associated with normal and pathological brain aging and psychiatric disorders. We also offer researchers a platform to share new ideas and advancements relating to all aspects of digital health and virtual health care for healthy and cognitively impaired older adults as well as psychiatric patients.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: We encourage the submission of original research articles, narrative and systematic reviews, clinical trials, perspectives, opinions, and study protocols relevant to this Special Issue.
