Graphs of Brain Networks

Background This commentary discusses the study by T elesford and colleagues in which they use network science to analyze resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsf MRI ) data collected in nonhuman primates. Methods Their findings using a network science approach in nonhuman primates are considered in the context of results from human studies. Results The network science approach to analyzing rsf MRI data from nonhuman primates yields results that are, for the most part, similar to results using alternative analyses methods in human studies. Conclusions Network science to analyze rsf MRI may promote a better understanding of the brain as a complex system.
