Manuscript Topics


Complex networks are made up of numerous systems that interact with one another. Physics, biology, chemistry, and other disciplines, among others, all exhibit complex networks. Complex networks in biology can be observed at various scales, from the molecular to the population level. Dynamical systems interactions result in various collective behaviors having different patterns. The main cause behind the research of complex networks is the investigation of collective behaviors. Networks can exhibit various collective behaviors, including synchronization, the chimera state, spiral waves, etc. One of the most significant phenomena in networks is synchronization, often known as the coherent dynamics of connected systems. There are different types of synchronization, including phase synchronization, anti-phase synchronization, and lag synchronization. The chimera state is formed when synchronous and asynchronous groups exist in networks.


In biology, synchronization plays a crucial role. One can consider the synchronization of gene systems in the circadian rhythm, the synchronization of fluctuations in human insulin secretion and glucose infusion, or the synchronization of brain neurons in various activities. Previous studies have shown that the information transition in the nervous system is accompanied by a part or all of the nerve cells in a specific area. Any disturbance in natural synchrony can result in some disorders. It has been revealed that Parkinson’s disease, epileptic seizure, Alzheimer’s disease, etc., are related to the synchronized dynamics of neurons. Therefore, the study of the collective dynamics of neurons needs special attention.


This special issue is devoted to the recent developments in the Structure and dynamics of complex biological networks. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:


• Dynamics of neuron models
• Neuronal networks
• Biological networks
• Complex structures
• Synchronization
• Chimera state
• Spiral wave
