Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biological systems are characterized by an intrinsic noisy behaviour. This is true at each level of biological complexity, from macromolecules up to organs, apparatuses and whole complex organisms. Let us think of the neuronal system, where the major sources of noise are the randomness of the time sequence of action potentials in presynaptic neurons, the stochastic behaviour of synaptic mechanisms (synaptic noise), and the probabilistic gating of both voltage‐ and ligand‐dependent ion channels (channel noise). In several cases, this intrinsic stochastic behaviour has been shown to enhance the detectability of weak sensorial stimuli through the stochastic resonance phenomenon.
Therefore, to capture the stochastic dynamics and to realistically model such biological systems, it is necessary to make use of mathematical tools based on stochastic processes.
This Special Issue focuses on stochastic processes applied to biological systems, at different complexity scales, with special regard (but not limited) to the nervous system.
We invite researchers from academia and industry to present their recent and unpublished studies in this Special Issue. This will help to share knowledge and to foster future research in the field.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
