Stress-related disorders are triggered by experiencing or witnessing a threatening event. Currently, the etiologies of stress-related disorders, especially PTSD, remains unclear. Moreover, these are incurable and easy to relapse. The risk, vulnerability and protective factors identified through careful clinical observation and rigorous scientific research studies may provide a basis for developing assessment measures and treatment and prevention interventions that can further reduce the risk of stress-related disorders and promote recovery from stress-related disorders.
Traumatic Stress Disorders research topic in the Translational Neuroscience section aims to accelerate the translation of discoveries in neuroscience from bench to bedside and ultimately improve the clinical outcomes for patients affected by stress-related disorders. We also welcome submissions that promote discussion and collaboration between clinical, forensic, and basic researchers.
Areas covered by the section include but are not limited to:
- Translational studies on psychological trauma and stress-related disorders.
- Understanding the pathogenesis of stress-related disorder and translating this knowledge to improved clinical outcomes and forensic evaluation for people affected by stress.
- Identification of new targets for molecular interventions, and development of improved diagnostics and biomarkers.
- Focus on accelerating and translating discoveries to transform the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of stress-related disorders.
- Developments in novel evidence-based treatment approaches, including prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, and acceptance-based behavioral therapy.
- Developments and new approaches in clinical-rehabilitation-prevention transformation integration; pharmacy-clinical-prevention transformation integration.
- All studies must contribute insights into translational research in the field of neuroscience. Reports focusing purely on fundamental/basic research without any reference to translational aspects should be directed to the other sections of Frontiers in Neuroscience.
