Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue intends to bring together cutting-edge research using computational neuroimaging to provide increasingly comprehensive maps of the brain’s functional network connections. These functional connections are represented graphically as connectomes, which explain the brain’s network connection patterns.
Connectomics has emerged as a novel metric for describing and measuring the brain’s functional network connections, allowing for the quantification of the brain’s network characteristics and functional connectivity.
In this Special Issue, we look at how connectomics can help us understand the intricacies of brain disorders like cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury, and mood disorders.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and functional connectivity experts to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that shed light on the cutting-edge connectomics methodology and its clinical applications in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating brain disorders.
Our goal is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and idea sharing, thereby pushing the boundaries of functional connectomics research. By advancing our understanding of brain illnesses through functional connectomics, we want to pave the way for more precise diagnoses, individualized treatment methods, and, ultimately, better outcomes for those suffering from these conditions.
Join us on this quest to revolutionize the landscape of neuroscience and clinical practice, pushing the boundaries of functional connectivity research and making significant gains toward uncovering the mysteries of the brain.

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. Life 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 2600 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.
