Knowledge of anatomy of the CNS represent a corner stone for any clinical advance in neuroscience. Advances in neuroanatomy regards different fields: the application of new technologies and more precise diagnostic instruments, improvements in surgery, with the research on tailored and less invasive approaches. Furthermore, in the last decades research has been focusing on molecular and microscopic features of both brain and spine, in order to get more accurate information regarding also the physiopathology of CNS diseases. The use of electronic microscopy allows to study ultrastructural features of nervous cells structures, allowing to explore and better understand the modifications in presence of different diseases, like tumors, vascular and degenerative lesions.
There are several features regarding neuroanatomy that interest both experimental and clinical branches and that involve neurosurgeons, neuroanatomists, neurologists, neuroradiologists and neuropathologists. The ultimate goal of this Research Topic is to describe and understand how to improve patient’s care, from early diagnosis of CNS conditions to follow-up. Finding less invasive techniques to treat patients is a current trend topic in every discipline of medicine, so the idea of proposing a special issue on a such wide field like neuroanatomy was born from the need of making treatment of CNS diseases more effective, safe, and comfortable for patients. An understanding of neuroanatomy is essential for developing precision medicine approaches that target specific neural circuits and their associated disorders There are still many things to clarify regarding neuroanatomy and the development of new techniques and technologies could lead to interesting results in the near future.
''Advances in Neuroanatomy” is dedicated to a wide spectrum of researchers in different fields regarding this topic. This Research Topic will discuss any research regarding new features in anatomy of brain or spine: description of anatomical variants, new surgical corridors, new approaches or modifications of existing ones, use of different technologies in both cadaveric and clinical studies, advances in imaging, modern diagnostic techniques on biological fluids and biopsies from both humans and animals, including precision medicine approaches. In conclusion, the purpose of this Research Topic is to shed light on any possible advance regarding neuroanatomy and on the eventual clinical application of these findings in clinical practice.
We invite authors to submit their original articles, brief reports, technical notes, literature reviews, and case reports about neuroanatomy.
