Post-stroke emotional disorders, such as depression, anxiety, apathy, fatigue, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, are common symptoms of stroke survivors, but they have often been ignored by patients and doctors. Post-stroke emotional disorders have significant impacts on the activities of daily living, quality of life, rehabilitation, treatment compliance, and mortality of stroke survivors, which increase the burden on families and society. However, the neurobiological mechanisms remain largely unknown, which limits the efficiency of treatments. Thus, it is urgent to investigate neurophysiologic biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies for post-stroke emotional disorders. Recent evidence indicated that dynamic reconfiguration of brain networks might be related to post-stroke emotional disorders, and neuromodulation technology might be a potential and promising therapeutic tool. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effects and underlying biological mechanisms of the clinical application are not fully understood.
The goal of this Research Topic is to gather studies on therapeutic, epidemiological, genetics, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological aspects of post-stroke emotional disorders, which may provide a closer look at neurobiological mechanisms and facilitate the treatment and prevention of emotional disorders after stroke.
We welcome Original Research, Meta-Analysis, and Review articles covering but not limited to the following areas:
• Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for post-stroke emotional disorders
• Clinical or genetic epidemiological studies on post-stroke emotional disorders
• Neurophysiologic or genetic biomarkers related to post-stroke emotional disorders
• Using neuromodulation technology, including but not limited to TMS, TBS, tDCS or TUS in humans for treating post-stroke emotional disorders
• Using neuroimaging measures, such as EEG, ERP, fMRI, fNIRS etc., to provide neurophysiological insight for post-stroke emotional disorders or image the changes caused by a certain intervention
• Exploratory research on possible mechanisms for post-stroke emotional disorders
• Exploratory research on therapeutic mechanisms for post-stroke emotional disorders
