About this Research Topic
We are pleased to announce this new collection of Neuroimaging in Psychiatry 2023 on the topic of schizophrenia. The focus of the Research Topic will be on the application of neuroimaging techniques to advance our understanding of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Despite decades of research, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of schizophrenia remain poorly understood. Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, however, have provided new insights into the neural correlates of schizophrenia.
This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest findings in the field of neuroimaging and to explore their potential implications for the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia, and provide a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers interested in advancing our understanding of schizophrenia through the use of neuroimaging. We welcome Original Research articles, Review articles, and Perspectives on the following topics:
- Neuroimaging biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia
- Structural and functional alterations in the brain of patients with schizophrenia
- The role of neuroimaging in predicting treatment response
- Novel neuroimaging techniques for studying schizophrenia, such as connectomics and deep learning
- The ethical implications of using neuroimaging in the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia
All submitted articles will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of the published work. We encourage submissions from researchers working in the fields of psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, radiology, and related disciplines.
