About this Research Topic
In recent decades, the discipline of neuroscience has seen a notable paradigm shift, whereby the utilization of neuroimaging methodologies has been important in propelling our comprehension of cerebral processes and interconnections. Extensive research has been conducted on the complicated and diverse neural networks present in the brain, leading to valuable findings pertaining to cognition, behavior, and neurological illnesses. The Latin American and Caribbean regions have made a growing contribution to the global scientific endeavor. We want to highlight the research conducted within these regions, with the goal of promoting collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners.
In this Research Topic, we want to emphasize the extensive neuroimaging and connectivity research that has been carried out in Latin America and the Caribbean by showcasing investigations that use several neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), among others. The scope of this article collection includes, but is not restricted to, the following areas: functional connectivity, structural connectivity (anatomy), neuroimaging in cognitive processes, clinical applications, neurodevelopment, cultural and socioeconomic influences on brain connectivity, and access to neuroimaging.
The collection invites a diverse range of article types that contribute to the progress of knowledge in the field of neuroimaging and connectivity research within the Latin American and Caribbean context. These include original articles, review articles (including narrative, systematic, and bibliometric reviews), case studies that explore the application of innovative neuroimaging techniques, methodological advancements, as well as perspectives and opinions on the constraints associated with the widespread implementation of neuroimaging in these regions. To qualify, articles must evaluate populations from the Latin America and/or the Caribbean regions, or be written primordially by authors from these regions.
To gather further insights in neuroimaging and connectivity research within the Latin American and Caribbean context, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Functional connectivity
- Structural connectivity (anatomy)
- Neuroimaging in cognitive processes
- Clinical applications
- Neurodevelopment
- Cultural and socioeconomic influences on brain connectivity
- Access to neuroimaging
This collection invites a diverse range of article types, including original research, review articles, case studies, methodological advancements, and perspectives on the challenges of widespread neuroimaging implementation in these regions. Articles must evaluate populations from Latin America and/or the Caribbean or be authored primarily by researchers from these regions.
