  • Haemodynamic activity characterization of resting state networks by fractal analysis and thalamocortical morphofunctional integrity in chronic migraine, 2020, The Journal of Headache and Pain

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Pierelli include:

  • Gianluca Coppola
  • Cherubino Di Lorenzo
  • Vincenzo Parisi
  • Mariano Serrao
  • Antonio Di Renzo

Their research has been published extensively in venues such as:

  • Research Square (Research Square)
  • The Journal of Headache and Pain
  • Frontiers in Neurology
  • Journal of the Neurological Sciences
  • Frontiers in Human Neuroscience

Throughout their career, the researcher has contributed significantly to the study of migraine disorders, utilizing functional neuroimaging and advanced analytic techniques to explore brain network activity and structural profiles. Their investigations also extend to neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, using computational approaches such as artificial neural networks for disease detection and severity assessment based on gait analysis.

Additionally, their work on the long-term effects of COVID-19 includes observational studies examining the impact of quarantine measures on migraine patients, contributing to understanding how pandemic-related conditions affect neurological health.
