What Are the Challenges in Neuroepidemiological Research?
One major challenge is the complexity of the brain and its functions, making it difficult to establish clear causal relationships. Additionally, the variability in neuroanatomy across individuals can complicate epidemiological studies. Large, well-designed cohort studies and advanced neuroimaging techniques are essential to overcome these challenges. Another issue is the ethical considerations in studying vulnerable populations, such as those with severe cognitive impairments.
