Degree distributions in mesoscopic and macroscopic functional brain networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the degree distribution of brain networks extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human brain. In particular, the distributions are compared between macroscopic brain networks using region-based nodes and mesoscopic brain networks using voxel-based nodes. We found that the distribution from these networks follow the same family of distributions and represent a continuum of exponentially truncated power law distributions.

Identifying Controlling Nodes in Neuronal Networks in Different Scales
Recent studies have detected hubs in neuronal networks using degree, betweenness centrality, motif and synchronization and revealed the importance of hubs in their structural and functional roles. In addition, the analysis of complex networks in different scales are widely used in physics community. This can provide detailed insights into the intrinsic properties of networks. In this study, we ...
متن کاملParcellations and connectivity patterns in human and macaque cerebral cortex
To decipher brain function, it is vital to know how the brain is wired. This entails elucidation of brain circuits at multiple scales, including microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic levels. Here, we review recent progress in mapping the macroscopic brain circuits and functional organization of the cerebral cortex in primates—humans and macaque monkeys, in particular. There are many similari...
متن کاملLimits and dynamics of randomly connected neuronal networks
Networks of the brain are composed of a very large number of neurons connected through a random graph and interacting after random delays that both depend on the anatomical distance between cells. In order to comprehend the role of these random architectures on the dynamics of such networks, we analyze the mesoscopic and macroscopic limits of networks with random correlated connectivity weights...

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...

The formation of amplitude modulated and phase modulated assemblies of neurons is observed in the brain functional activity. The study of the formation of such structures requires that the analysis has to be organized in hierarchical levels, microscopic, mesoscopic, macroscopic, each with its characteristic space-time scales and the various forms of energy, electric, chemical, thermal produced ...
