About this Research Topic
We are pleased to announce a new collection of Neuroimaging in Psychiatry 2023 on the topic of mood disorders. 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 mood disorders.
Mood disorders are a significant public health concern and are among the most common psychiatric disorders worldwide. These disorders are characterized by extreme changes in mood, including depression, mania, and hypomania, and can significantly impair an individual's ability to function in daily life. Despite decades of research, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of mood disorders remain poorly understood. Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques, however, have provided new insights into the neural correlates of mood disorders.
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 mood disorders, and provide a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers interested in advancing our understanding of mood disorders through the use of neuroimaging. We welcome Original Research articles, Review articles, and Perspectives on the following topics:
- Neuroimaging biomarkers for the diagnosis of mood disorders
- Structural and functional alterations in the brain of patients with mood disorders
- The role of neuroimaging in predicting treatment response for mood disorders
- Novel neuroimaging techniques for studying mood disorders, such as connectomics and deep learning
- The ethical implications of using neuroimaging in the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders
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.
We believe that this special issue will contribute to the advancement of our understanding of mood disorders and help to develop new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
