Information flow in local cortical networks is not democratic

Abstract: The average cortical neuron makes and receives about 1,000 -10,000 synaptic contacts. This anatomical information suggests that local cortical networks are connected in a fairly democratic manner, with all neurons having about the same number of incoming and outgoing connections. But the physical connections found in the cortex do not necessarily reveal how information flows through cortical networks. What is the network diagram for information flow in cortical networks? To investigate this issue, we recorded … Show more

“…Note the subtlety that unlike transcription networks, only genes are considered as nodes in these directed networks. Similarly, by cortical networks we denote the networks of dependencies between various regions of the cerebral cortex (in a set of primates) [31], [32]. The nodes are regions in the cortex, and the links are functional dependencies.…”
