ICNS vs Neuro Mapper

Innovations in Clinical Neuroscience (ICNS) is a peer-reviewed, electronic publication that has become an important addition to the field of neuroscience. Under the expert editorial leadership of Amir Kalali, MD, ICNS provides evidence-based information in a practical, easy-to-read format for practicing clinicians, investigators, industry scientists, and other entities involved in the field of neuroscience. ICNS translates the vast amounts of CNS research into applicable information that aims to inform practicing clinicians on the latest treatment options in psychiatry and neurology, as well as investigators and scientists on the latest innovations in the drug development arena. ICNS offers its readers original research, practical discussions on the latest research, comprehensive reviews, brief reports on important, but limited data, didactic case reports, and provocative commentaries on contemporary topics in neuroscience. Articles are—written by key opinion leaders as well as practicing clinicians who are “in the trenches, —providing vital balance to the research-rich literature that is already available. ICNS is published by Matrix Medical Communications in West Chester, Penn., USA, and is indexed on PubMed Central, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Scopus, and EMBASE.

Neuromapper allows for a more efficient and sophisticated multi-dimensional behavioral brain mapping. It contains multiple cognitive and sensory paradigms that were selected based on current practice, known brain behavioral correlates and from review of neuroimaging and clinical research. Neuromapper allows for customized stimulus selection tailored to the patient's ability level and it will record the patient's accuracy and other sensitive behavioral metrics during baseline testing and incorporate that data into the mapping session to provide a more individualized, tailored testing approach. Neuromapper, in its current form, contains paradigms designed to assess language, learning/memory, executive functions, and vision/neglect. Additional paradigms are being researched and designed and a research consortium is being established between the Medical College and other academic centers to continue testing and developing these paradigms and to answer other important research questions about functional localization and clinical mapping.
