About this Research Topic
This Research Topic focuses on the study of biomarkers and molecular genetics in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on this issue and to cover:
-identification of the structural and functional brain abnormalities using neuroimaging techniques (DTI, VBM and fMRI) and neuroelectrophysiology in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression;
-detection of genome variations in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder;
-integrated analysis of genetic and biomarkers of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder;
-the study of cross-disease biological markers of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders for the goal of cross-diseases diagnosis,
-explore the biological subtypes of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, providing a theoretical basis for the research domain criteria (RDoC).
This Research Topic of Frontiers in Psychiatry welcomes the submission of manuscripts either describing Original Research or reviewing the scientific literature, including Systematic Reviews and meta-analyses.
Keywords: Genetic, Biomarkers, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorders, RDoC
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
