Call for submissions of an Expression of Interest for an Adv Clin Exp Med Special Collection on
Crosstalk Between Behavioral Domains in Mental Illnesses and Comorbidity
Handling Editor: Dr. Masaru Tanaka
Cognition, emotion, motivation, and social behavior are reciprocal and interactive components of human functioning, which are disturbed and manifested as symptoms in patients suffering from a wide range of diseases, including neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. These illnesses impose one of the most difficult and complex challenges on clinical and experimental research arenas due to their polygenic, multifactorial and heterogeneous causative factors. The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) frames six major behavioral domains consisting of several constructs, matrixed with several units of analysis, transforming the understanding and treatment of mental disorders.
This Special Collection highlights the most recent advances in clinical and experimental medicine in the fields of neurology and psychiatry with the RDoC approach. We cordially invite authors to contribute original research articles focusing on (but not limited to) the following:
- etiology, pathogenesis and progression mechanisms;
- early diagnosis including biomarker, bio-imaging and biosensors;
- prophylactic, disease-modifying and therapeutic strategies, novel targets;
- novel drug discovery and development, naturally driven biomedicines, natural bioactive molecules and vaccines;
- preclinical in vitro models and animal models;
- bench-to-bedside translation research;
- bedside-to-bench translational research.
Comprehensive review, systematic review and meta-analysis articles are also welcome.
