The brain is mostly organised into small modular regions connected to each other. Typically, each region performs different cognitive tasks, from image processing to language. This organisation leads us to model the brain as a network, the ‘brain connectome’. This fundamental view of the brain has become a central paradigm for neurosciences linking topological properties of networks to brain functions.
This lecture presents ideas from graph theory to study this network and understand the way that the brain learns and operates.
