As our understanding of the brain continues to advance, so too does the demand for sophisticated tools that can model, simulate, and interpret the intricate data generated by contemporary neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques. The interdisciplinary field of theoretical and computational neuroscience, drawing on biology, mathematics, computer science, and physics, seeks to capture the complexities of the nervous system through rigorous quantitative models and simulations. In recent years, this field has grown rapidly, with computational and mathematical methodologies becoming essential for probing the nuances of neural circuitry and cognitive function.Computational approaches in neuroscience encompass diverse techniques, from advanced statistical methods to machine learning algorithms, each designed to identify meaningful patterns in high-dimensional data. Complementing these are mathematical models that provide a robust framework for understanding neural dynamics, connectivity, and information processing across various scales, from single neurons to vast networks. Together, these computational and mathematical strategies empower researchers to generate precise hypotheses, make quantitative predictions, and gain deeper insights into the fundamental principles that drive brain function, neural plasticity, and the mechanisms behind neurological disorders.This Special Issue brings together the latest advancements in computational and mathematical methods in neuroscience, showcasing articles that address foundational concepts, established models, and emerging technologies at the forefront of the field. By bridging theoretical frameworks with empirical data, these approaches not only expand our knowledge of neural systems but also open new pathways for therapeutic innovation and applications in clinical neuroscience.
