Scope & Guideline
Advancing Understanding in Cellular and Clinical Neuroscience
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Interoception and Autonomic Regulation:
Research focusing on how the autonomic nervous system perceives and regulates internal bodily states, including heart, renal, and respiratory functions, providing insights into health and disease. - Autonomic Dysfunction in Disease:
Investigation of autonomic dysfunction across a spectrum of diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), highlighting the clinical significance of autonomic assessments. - Neuroimaging and Physiological Measurements:
Utilization of advanced imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI) and physiological measurements to study the neural mechanisms underlying autonomic control and its impact on various health outcomes. - Therapeutic Interventions:
Exploration of novel therapeutic approaches, such as vagus nerve stimulation and pharmacological interventions, aimed at modulating autonomic function to improve clinical outcomes. - Stress and Autonomic Responses:
Analysis of how stress affects autonomic regulation and contributes to various pathologies, including the impact of psychosocial stressors on cardiovascular health.
Trending and Emerging
- Neuroimmune Interactions:
An increasing number of studies are investigating the interplay between the autonomic nervous system and immune responses, particularly in contexts like COVID-19 and chronic inflammatory conditions, highlighting the importance of neuroimmune communication. - Impact of COVID-19 on Autonomic Function:
Significant attention is being directed towards understanding how COVID-19 affects autonomic regulation, particularly in terms of long-term effects on patients, suggesting a critical area of ongoing research. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
There is a growing trend towards interdisciplinary research that combines insights from neurology, cardiology, and psychology to better understand the autonomic nervous system's role in complex health issues. - Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Neuromodulation:
Research focused on vagus nerve stimulation and other neuromodulatory techniques is gaining traction as potential therapeutic strategies for a variety of autonomic dysfunctions and related conditions. - Functional and Structural Imaging Techniques:
Emerging studies are increasingly employing advanced imaging techniques, such as fMRI and PET scans, to explore the structural and functional aspects of the autonomic nervous system in both health and disease.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on conventional pharmacological treatments for autonomic dysfunction, with more recent studies favoring non-pharmacological interventions like vagus nerve stimulation. - Basic Animal Models:
Research utilizing basic animal models for studying autonomic function seems to be less prevalent, as there is a growing trend towards translational research that directly involves human subjects. - Single-Focus Studies on Specific Disorders:
The focus on isolated studies of specific autonomic disorders, such as singular examinations of vasovagal syncope, is waning in favor of broader integrative approaches that examine multiple conditions or systems.
