Psychiatry Research - Neuroimaging

Aims & Scope

Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, a companion title to Psychiatry Research, focuses on publications relating to imaging techniques.

We publish manuscripts on magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, multichannel electrophysiology, near-infrared spectroscopy, computed tomography, magnetoencephalography, non-invasive brain stimulation, autoradiography, post-mortem regional analyses, and other imaging techniques.

Reports concerning results in neuropsychiatric disorders and psychopathology and the effects of behavioral tasks, neurobiological-, psychotherapy-, and pharmacological treatments are featured.

We also invite manuscripts on the methods of obtaining images and computer processing of the images themselves.

Reviews, meta-analysis and selected case reports are also published.
