New Insights into the Neuroimaging of Cognitive Impairments

This Research Topic has been organized in collaboration with the Neuroimaging Journal at Frontiers to spotlight studies in cognitive impairment by highlighting some of the most impactful research areas in this field and providing discussion around the latest advances in Neuroimaging research in relation to cognitive impairment throughout life as well as new research on this important topic.

By following its mission to freely disseminate high-quality research with a worldwide reach, Frontiers in Neuroimaging will continue to play a key role in accelerating the progress of Cognition research. This Research Topic article collection will focus on Neuroimaging research that can inform solutions for creating a culture of awareness, understanding, and solidarity, with this Topic focusing on the progress and challenges still faced in understanding cognitive impairments through the life cycle. This can include mild cognitive impairments, Alzheimer’s Disease, neurocognitive disorders, and other medical conditions that affect mental functions such as memory, thinking, and the ability to reason.

The Research Topic welcomes contributions from researchers around the globe in the form of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspectives focusing on, but not limited to the following subtopics:

• Structural magnetic resonance imaging studies for cognitive impairments

• Cortical grey-matter studies for cognitive impairments

• DTI studies for cognitive impairments

• fMRI studies for cognitive impairments

• Magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies for cognitive impairments

• Future developments in Clinical Neuroimaging for cognitive impairments
