NeuroImage: Clinical,, a companion title to the highly-respected NeuroImage, is a journal of diseases, disorders and syndromes involving the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on defining changes to the brain associated with primary neurologic and psychiatric diseases and disorders of the nervous system as well as behavioral syndromes and developmental conditions. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of diseases and disorders, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring and tracking of illness, predicting therapeutic response and development of new treatments. Papers dealing with structure and function in animal models will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that can be readily translated to human conditions.The journal welcomes original research articles as well as papers on innovative methods, models, databases, theory or conceptual positions provided that they involve imaging approaches and demonstrate significant new opportunities for understanding clinical problems.
The Article Publishing Charges are waived for submissions intended for Special Issues, as well as for submissions received via the Article Transfer Service (ATS).Neuroscience Informatics is a peer-reviewed gold open-access journal, in the fields of brain sciences, imaging and natural/engineered computational systems. The journal builds a bridge between medical and technical disciplines and encourages development activities and research in an international environment. The focus is on interdisciplinary, translational, and technical research that constitute the field of brain informatics or that are driven by imaging. The journal aims to profile topics relating to digital imaging methods and computer-assisted diagnostic and therapeutic workflows. One central focus is on new diagnostic and therapeutic processes that are facilitated by computer-assisted radiology and surgery. Neuroscience Informatics also welcomes submissions on communication technology, information sciences, as well as clinical applications:Neurosciences disciplines of interestNeurologyNeurosurgeryNeurointerventional surgery/radiologyNeuroradiologyNeurocritical care and emergency medicineFundamentalsEducation and trainingInformatics fields concernedInformation processing and computer-driven systemsBig-data analyticsInformatics paradigmsBrain-inspired computation & Brain/machine interfacesModeling approachesMassive structured datasetsEvaluation of available software toolsArtificial IntelligenceMedical imaging, digital imaging methodsImage processing, analysis and displayComputer applications for clinical or surgical practiceImage-guided therapyRobotics, instrumentation and navigationAlgorithmic and/or statistical methodsNeurosciences informatics presents results from these areas in original papers, review articles and short communications. This research must advance the understanding of a neurological condition or surgical/medical treatment and contribute to improving computer assisted radiology and surgery-supported procedures in clinical practice.4 issues/year
