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

Nanoscale

Mircoscale

Mesoscale

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
