Migraine as a Dynamic Disorder: News about Mathematical Models and Connectivity Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

In the present Special Issue, we aim to exploit innovative results about dynamic models of functional and effective connectivity analysis applied to migraine pathophysiology. This complex disorder is hardly represented by simple neurophysiological and neuroimmaging patterns, though the FMRI and EEG/MEG methods showed differences in default and stimulus and event-related dynamic network interactions. Mathematical models could also be applied to the cohomprension of mechanisms related to cortical spreading depression generation and progression, as well as their clinical implications. The audience of such an issue is intended to include expert clinicians and theoretic researchers, with the aim to establish an ideal field of convergent interest and application.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
