Network neuroscience
Network neuroscience is an approach to understanding the structure and function of the human brain through an approach of network science, through the paradigm of graph theory.[1]
Multiple scales of analysis for the brain
Microscale
- Microscale - nanometer to micrometer scale.[2]
Macroscale
- Macroscale - millimeter to centimeter scale.[2]
Modelling brain networks as graphs
Any network can be modelled as a graph of nodes connected by edges.[2]
- Nodes represent fundamental processing units. Nodes are recommended to be:[2]
- Spatially constrained.
- Intrinsically homogenous.
- Extrinically distinct.
- Edges represent the interaction between nodes
