Detecting Square Grid Structure in an Animal Neuronal Network

An animal neural system ranges from a cluster of few neurons to brain billions. At the lower range, it is possible test each neuron for its role across set environmental conditions. However, higher range requires another approach. One method disentangle organization neuronal network. In case entorhinal cortex in rodent, cells involved spatial location activate regular grid-like arrangement. Therefore, interest develop methods find these kinds patterns For this study, square grid arrangement quantified by network metrics and then applied identification structure areas fruit fly brain. The results show several regions with contiguous clusters arrangements network, supportive specialization information processing system.
