title: Why are psychiatric imaging methods clinically unreliable? Conclusions and practical guidelines for authors, editors and reviewers.
abstract: No reliable anatomical or functional alterations have been confirmed in psychiatric neuroimaging; however it can become reliable with translational impact on clinical practice when considering crucial methodological issues. We provide guidelines to authors, editors and reviewers in the implementation/evaluation of neuroimaging studies to bend neuroimaging to be more than basic neuroscience.
