This article reviews studies investigating complex brain networks in diverse experimental modalities and provides an accessible introduction to the basic principles of graph theory and highlights the technical challenges and key questions to be addressed by future developments in this rapidly moving field.
Mapping the Structural Core of Human Cerebral Cortex

The spatial and topological centrality of the core within cortex suggests an important role in functional integration and a substantial correspondence between structural connectivity and resting-state functional connectivity measured in the same participants.

Although resting state functional connectivity is variable and is frequently present between regions without direct structural linkage, its strength, persistence, and spatial statistics are nevertheless constrained by the large-scale anatomical structure of the human cerebral cortex.
Rich-Club Organization of the Human Connectome

- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience

It is demonstrated that brain hubs form a so-called “rich club,” characterized by a tendency for high-degree nodes to be more densely connected among themselves than nodes of a lower degree, providing important information on the higher-level topology of the brain network.
The economy of brain network organization
- E. Bullmore, O. Sporns
- BiologyNature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 May 2012
It is proposed that brain organization is shaped by an economic trade-off between minimizing costs and allowing the emergence of adaptively valuable topological patterns of anatomical or functional connectivity between multiple neuronal populations.

The Human Connectome: A Structural Description of the Human Brain
A research strategy to achieve the connection matrix of the human brain (the human “connectome”) is proposed, and its potential impact is discussed.
Network structure of cerebral cortex shapes functional connectivity on multiple time scales
- C. Honey, R. Kötter, M. Breakspear, O. Sporns
- BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 12 June 2007
Simulating nonlinear neuronal dynamics on a network that captures the large-scale interregional connections of macaque neocortex, and applying information theoretic measures to identify functional networks, this work finds structure–function relations at multiple temporal scales.
THE HUMAN CONNECTOME: A COMPLEX NETWORK
- O. Sporns
- BiologySchizophrenia Research
- 1 April 2011
Current empirical efforts toward generating a network map of the human brain, the human connectome, are reviewed, and how the connectome can provide new insights into the organization of the brain's structural connections and their role in shaping functional dynamics are explored.
