Scope

Emotion Regulation and Processing publishes significant findings and major advances on the mechanisms underlying the neurobiology of emotions. This section welcomes different approaches that study the etiology and pathophysiology of mood disorders, including molecular biology and genetics, neuropharmacology and neurochemistry, electrophysiology, clinical neurosciences and neuroimaging. We also welcome work in all animal species, including humans, and integrative and translational approaches are encouraged.

Key research areas covered by this section include but are not limited to:

• Affective disorders, including depression and anxiety 

• Behavioral impact of stress in emotion regulation 

• Mechanisms of resilience 

• Gut-brain interaction on mood disorders 

• Role of epigenetics in emotion regulation 

• Role of glial cells in emotion regulation 

• Biomarkers for mood disorders 

Authors submitting manuscripts other than Original Research should highlight in their cover letter how their publication record on the same topic has prepared them for contributing to the field. We also request that prospective organizers of Research Topics (info at www.frontiersin.org/about/RTGuidelines) provide the Editorial Office (neuroscience.researchtopics@frontiersin.org) with their CV and clarify in the proposal how their research expertise qualifies them to organize a Research Topic on that particular subject.
