Neuroplasticity represents the brain's capacity to adapt through neural network modifications, crucial for understanding both normal cerebral functions and pathological conditions. While learning, experience, and brain injuries drive these changes, the specifics of how neural reorganization occurs remain subject to considerable debate and ongoing research. Key contributors such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have vastly improved our understanding of brain function placement and networks but are hindered by inherent limitations in study design, bias, and methodological constraints. Despite these advancements, critical questions about the patterns, mechanisms, and factors influencing neuroplasticity continue to stir controversy within the field.
This Research Topic aims to delve deeper into the mechanisms of neuroplasticity in various disease states and both pre and post therapeutic interventions, utilizing advanced fMRI techniques. We seek to address specific alterations in brain functions during neuroplastic processes, the development of novel, less biased fMRI methods, and the standardization of protocols across different research settings. By focusing on these aspects, the study intends to enhance the replicability and dynamic analysis of neural changes, thereby contributing to a richer understanding and more effective interventions in neuroplastic anomalies.
To gather further insights in neuroplastic phenomena across neurological disorders, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
o Improved fMRI techniques for longitudinal and task-based studies
o Data-driven approaches in neural decoding, especially employing AI and deep learning
o Evaluation protocols for comparative analysis across species and conditions
o Long-term follow-ups in neural adaptation during recovery or progression of diseases
o Task-specific patterns versus shared mechanisms in neural reorganization
o Impact of neuroplasticity on managing conditions like ADHD, Autism, and Neurodegenerative Disorders.
We invite varied submissions including original research, reviews, methodological advancements, clinical trials, and detailed case reports focusing on these complex and challenging aspects of neuroplasticity research.
