NeuroImage Clinical

期刊简介：NeuroImage: Clinical, 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.

【译文】NeuroImage: Clinical是一本关于神经系统疾病、障碍和综合征的期刊，它提供了一个平台来交流基于成像的人类神经系统异常结构-功能关系的重要进展。NeuroImage: Clinical的重点在于定义与原发性神经病学和精神病学疾病以及神经系统障碍和行为综合征以及发育条件相关的脑部变化。评价论文的主要标准是疾病和障碍病理生理机制理解的科学进步程度，以及识别将临床体征和症状与大脑功能联系起来的功能模型，以及创建适用于广泛临床需求的基于图像的工具，包括诊断、疾病监测和追踪、预测治疗效果以及开发新治疗方法。如果动物模型的结构和功能研究揭示了可以轻易转化为人类条件的机制，也将考虑这些论文。
