About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we encourage Original Research and Review applying neuroimaging methods mentioned above to investigate the following:
- Insomnia, sleep deprivation, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift-work sleep disorders
- Sleep spindles/K-complex/slow-wave sleep oscillations
- Sleep disorders and emotional dysfunctions such as major depressive disorder/bipolar disorder/post-traumatic stress disorder /attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/schizophrenia/anxiety disorders
- Sleep disorders and neurological diseases such as dementia/Parkinson's disease
- Sleep-targeted therapies such as tDCS/tACS/TMS
Studies involving computational approaches, e.g., network analysis and machine learning for data processing and imaging analysis, are particularly welcomed. We are open to original research articles and reviews, and submissions must demonstrate how a single neuroimaging technique or combined methods determine how sleep disorders affect mental health in the healthy population and patients and the mechanisms behind this phenomenon. Emphasis is placed on translational value and clinical merit for these studies.
Keywords: Sleep Disturbances, MRI, tDCS, tACS, TMS
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.
