Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pain is an uncomfortable condition with remarkable clinical relevance. Pain usually arises as a consequence of activation of primary nociceptive afferents by actual or potential tissue damage. However, neuropathic pain arises from activity generated within the nervous system after its injury. Pain transmission and modulation are not exclusively managed by neurons but could also be influenced by non-neuronal cells, such as keratinocytes, immune cells, and glial cells. Whatever the cause, pain remains an unsolved problem for a lot of clinical conditions and needs new and innovative strategies for its management and control.
This Special Issue will provide a collection of cutting-edge studies to deepen the systemic and trigeminal pain pathways ranging from anatomy to molecular, biochemical, and cellular mechanisms, also of non-neuronal cells. Original papers and reviews on basic and translational research will be welcome.
Dr. Elisa Borsani

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
