Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psychiatric disorders (PDs) cause behavioral or mental dysfunctions that might disturb your thinking, mood, and behaviors. In particular, PDs demonstrate a significant distress or impairment of your brain functioning. PDs mainly include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders, depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia spectrum, insomnia, behavioral addiction, obsessive compulsive and other related disorders, etc.
To date, it is very challenging to use traditional imaging tools such as computed tomography or ultrasound to detect the brain deficits of psychiatric disorders. Meanwhile, due to significant individual differences and the complexity of human behaviors, it is very hard to inspect the cognitive neural mechanism by using animal models when trying to understand the pathogenesis of various PDs. Therefore, it is essential to develop new cognitive test paradigms and use advanced clinical neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy, and PET to identify the novel therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of PDs.
The aims and scope of this Special Issue are to exhibit the new multifaceted technologies in neuroimaging and brain interventions of PDs. All types of manuscripts are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue, from review articles to basic and clinical studies related to PDs. It is expected that the main findings of this topic will pave a new way for the functional detection and effective intervention of different PDs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
