Abstract: Recent developments in the quantitative analysis of complex networks, based largely on graph theory, have been rapidly translated to studies of brain network organization. The brain's structural and functional systems have features of complex networks--such as small-world topology, highly connected hubs and modularity--both at the whole-brain scale of human neuroimaging and at a cellular scale in non-human animals. In this article, we review studies investigating complex brain networks in diverse experimental modalities (including structural and functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography in humans) and provide an accessible introduction to the basic principles of graph theory. We also highlight some of the technical challenges and key questions to be addressed by future developments in this rapidly moving field.

Dynamic fluctuations coincide with periods of high and low modularity in resting-state functional brain networks
TL;DR: The statistical approach allows the detection of functional connections that fluctuate more or less than expected based on their long-time averages and may be of use in future studies characterizing the spatio-temporal patterns of time-varying functional connectivity.
Regional Homogeneity A Multimodal, Multiscale Neuroimaging Marker of the Human Connectome
Lili Jiang,Xi-Nian Zuo +1 more
TL;DR: This review will briefly survey the history of studies on organizational principles of human brain function, propose local functional homogeneity as a network centrality to characterize multimodal local features of the brain connectome, and discuss its role in performing connectome-wide association studies and identify relevant challenges.

Reflections on Mirror Therapy: A Systematic Review of the Effect of Mirror Visual Feedback on the Brain
Frederik Deconinck,Ana R.P. Smorenburg,Alex Benham,Annick Ledebt,Max G. Feltham,Geert J.P. Savelsbergh +5 more
TL;DR: MVF can exert a strong influence on the motor network, mainly through increased cognitive penetration in action control, though the variance in methodology and the lack of studies that shed light on the functional connectivity between areas still limit insight into the actual underlying mechanisms.

Synchronous and Asynchronous Theta and Gamma Activity during Episodic Memory Formation

TL;DR: It is suggested that network synchrony analyses, as used here, can help to distinguish between two major types of spectral modulations that reflect synchronous engagement of regional neurons with neighboring brain areas, and those that reflect either asynchronous modulations of neural activity or local synchrony accompanied by global disengagement from neighboring regions.

TL;DR: The extent of the functional dysconnectivity identified in MDD and the swift and robust normalization following treatment suggest that GBCr may serve as a treatment response biomarker for the development of rapid acting antidepressants.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.
