Network neuroscience

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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[]

Nanoscale[]

Microscale[]

  • Microscale - nanometer to micrometer scale.[2]

Mesoscale[]

  • Mesoscale - micrometer to millimeter scale.[2]

Macroscale[]

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
