In this special issue edited by Prof. Michael Schöll, we cover different aspects of the disease and would be of great interest for the researchers in the field of Alzheimer's disease. I thank Prof. Schöll for his time and effort in putting together this special issue.Brain Connectivity is a leading print journal that has expanded its remit recently to cover clinical neurology, neuroscience, and neuroimaging. By expanding the remit of the journal, we aim to reach out to a much wider audience in the field of general neurology and neuroscience. This gives an opportunity for the journal audience to have a comprehensive knowledge of the broader general neurology, neuroscience, and neuroimaging.The involvement of the brain in different neurological diseases is accompanied by different molecular changes and neuropathological processes. Pathological substrates such as amyloid deposition, tau deposition, microglial activation, synuclein pathology, astrocyte activation, mitochondrial function, and other changes in structural and functional connectivity are closely interrelated. Stroke is associated with multiple downstream events, which could lead to persistent changes in the neuropathological processes.Positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have developed significantly during the past decades, allowing us an in-depth understanding of brain function during the aging process and in disease states.After the expansion of the remit of Brain Connectivity, we are now inviting articles in the field of clinical neurology, neuroscience, and neuroimaging by focusing onAlzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases;movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease;stroke and multiple sclerosis;neurological complications and their mechanism after emerging infections; andbiology of human aging.We invite you to submit articles focusing on the above theme. Any of the following themes will be of huge interest: Clinical and translational researchReview articles in the field of clinical neurology, neuroscience, and neuroimagingNovel PET and MRI markers in neurodegenerative diseases and strokeInfluence of genetic and epigenetic factors on neurodegenerative diseasesStructural and functional connectivity in brain disordersMultimodal imaging in brain disorders in both human subjects and animal modelsExperimental techniques combining MRI (connectivity), electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, PET, single photon emission computed tomography, and other new and evolving methods.For more information about the journal, including scope and instructions for authors, please visit our website (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/brainconnectivity).Feel free to contact Editor-in-Chief Dr. Paul Edison at paul.edison@imperial.ac.uk if you have any questions about the eligibility of your article.I thank all the researchers and all the staff at Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, editors, and reviewers of Brain Connectivity who are dedicated to advancing research and improving our lives in every corner of the world.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 0Issue 0 InformationCopyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishersTo cite this article:Paul EdisonEditor-in-Chief.Brain Connectivity: A Journal of Clinical Neurology, Neuroscience, & Neuroimaging Advancing the Field of Neurology.Brain Connectivity.ahead of printhttp://doi.org/10.1089/brain.2023.29050.editorialOnline Ahead of Print:June 2, 2023PDF download
