Neuroscience
Neuroscience concerned with the
study of the structure and function of
the nervous system.
It
encompasses
computational,
behavioral
and
cognitive
neuroscience.
Uses methods drawn from computer
science and artificial intelligence.
Machine learning
Brain Graphs
- A way of modeling the human brain connections.
- Graph nodes represent neural elements, or brain regions,
edges represent connections between nodes.
- Brain graphs provide a relatively simple and increasingly
popular way of modeling the human brain connections.
Brain Connectivity
The
human
brain
is
structurally and functionally
organized
into

connectivity.
Yields integrative and comprehensive descriptions of
the structural and functional organization of the
human brain, which provides important implications
for health and disease.
By modeling the brain as a complex network, graph
theoretical analysis provides an uncomplicated but
powerful mathematical framework for characterizing
topological properties of the brain connectivity.

Clustering:
Clusters:
Network is organized into densely coupled neighborhoods.
Clustering coefficient:
Measure of local segregation.
The clustering coefficient of an individual node measures the
density of connections between the node's neighbors.
Only Densely interconnected neighbors form a cluster around
the node
Motifs
Motifs:
To aid in the analysis of connection patterns in
local neighborhoods, large networks or graphs can
be decomposed into smaller "building blocks" or
"networks-within-networks called motifs .
They form a basic structural alphabet of
elementary circuits.
Modularity
clusters are composed of modules of densely interconnected
nodes.
segregated as most edges link nodes within modules, and few
edges link nodes between modules.
The balance of the density of within-module and between
modules connections defines a measure of network
modularity.
Modularity measure must be maximum.
brain connectivity.
Average shortest path yields global efficiency, which is the
inverse of the average shortest path.
The local efficiency of a particular node is the inverse of
the average shortest path connecting all neighbors of that
node.
Assortativity
If nodes with a high degree tend to be connected to other
GENERATIVE MODELS
Random Graphs
Composed of nodes with fairly uniform degree
Degree distribution defined by the mean degree.
Pairs of nodes are typically connected by short paths.
Nodes that are directly connected maintain
uncorrelated patterns of connections.
Random Graphs have short characteristic path lengths
Low levels of clustering.
Small-world network
With a probability p, edges are disconnected and attached
Scale-free networks
Power law
Implies that the probability of finding a node with a degree
