Call for Papers: Neuroimaging in Autism Spectrum Disorders
The aim of this Collection is to tackle challenges of understanding the neurobiology associated with neurodiversity, autism and broader neurodevelopmental conditions in the context of in-vivo neuroimaging of the brain in autistic individuals and broader neurodevelopmental conditions.

Aims and scope
Molecular Autism is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes high-quality basic, translational and clinical research that has relevance to the etiology, pathobiology, or treatment of autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions. Research that includes integration across levels is encouraged. Molecular Autism publishes empirical studies, reviews, and brief communications.
We encourage submissions from a range of fields including (but not restricted to) genetics, molecular neurobiology, neuropathology, neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, epidemiology, and biomarker discovery. Molecular Autism also publishes articles on screening, diagnosis and classification, including articles that consider subgrouping to refine our understanding of basic mechanisms. Intervention studies are also welcome, especially when considered with respect to revealing causal mechanisms.
