Structure–Function Relationship in Complex Brain Networks by Multilevel Modeling
Abstract
We try to illuminate the relationship between structural and functional connectivity by studying synchronization dynamics based on realistic anatomical network of cat cortical connectivity. A multilevel model is considered, where each cortical area is modeled by a subnetwork of interacting excitable neurons. We show that the model displays biologically plausible dynamics, and the synchronization patterns reveal a hierarchical cluster organization in the network structure. A group of brain areas involved into multimodal association can be identified by comparing the dynamical clusters to the topological communities of the network.
