Applications of Biomedical Technology and Molecular Biological Approach in Brain Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

The topic issue “Applications of Biomedical Technology and Molecular Biological Approach in Brain Diseases” is related to the assessment of brain diseases in mechanisms using various biomedical technology and molecular biological approaches and developments of novel treatments and interventions. In this topic issue, the extend of brain diseases are comprised of neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. The examinations of neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and so on) are hot issues for aging societies over many counties, and their treatments and interventions remain unsolved questions. By contrast, psychiatric disorder patients suffer from chronic symptoms and relapse. Moreover, many psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorders, and anxiety disorders cannot be recovered following long-term medicinal treatments or associated with psychological interventions. The topic issue encourages researchers to submit any manuscript that examines the mechanism and/or treatments of any brain diseases, including neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. The scope of the topic issue includes, but is not limited to, the following technology and approaches to investigating brain diseases:

1. Brain mapping: fMRI, MRI, PET, CT;

2. Molecular and proteins labeling: IHC, IF, WB, ELISA, IP, ICC;

3. mRNA labeling: PCR, qRT-PCR, Fish;

4. Others: optogenetics, chemogenetics, HPLC.
