神經(jīng)影像：臨床，一本涉及神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的疾病、疾病和綜合征雜志，提供了一種交流基于成像的人類神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)異常結(jié)構(gòu)-功能關(guān)系研究的重要進展的工具。神經(jīng)影像學(xué)的重點：臨床是定義與原發(fā)性神經(jīng)和精神疾病、神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)紊亂以及行為綜合征和發(fā)育狀況相關(guān)的大腦變化。評判論文的主要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是在理解疾病和障礙的病理生理機制、識別將臨床體征和癥狀與大腦功能聯(lián)系起來的功能模型以及創(chuàng)建適用于廣泛臨床需求的基于圖像的工具（包括對疾病進行診斷、監(jiān)測和跟蹤，預(yù)測治療反應(yīng)和新療法的發(fā)展。研究動物模型的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的論文也將被考慮，如果它們揭示了可以很容易地轉(zhuǎn)化為人類條件的機制。該雜志歡迎原創(chuàng)研究文章以及關(guān)于創(chuàng)新方法、模型、數(shù)據(jù)庫、理論或概念位置的論文，前提是它們涉及成像方法，并展示理解臨床問題的重要新機會。

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.The journal welcomes original research articles as well as papers on innovative methods, models, databases, theory or conceptual positions provided that they involve imaging approaches and demonstrate significant new opportunities for understanding clinical problems.
