Percolation Analysis of Brain Structural Network

The brain network is one specific type of critical infrastructure networks, which supports the cognitive function biological systems. With importance reliability in system design, evaluation, operation, and maintenance, we use percolation methods on networks study resistance to disturbances relevant failure modes. In this paper, compare different species, including cat, fly, human, mouse, macaque. differences structural features reflect requirements for varying levels functional specialization integration, determine networks. process, apply forms based metrics that characterize structure. Our findings suggest are mostly reliable against random or k-core-based with their structure yet becomes vulnerable under betweenness degree-based percolation. results might be useful identify distinguish connectivity failures have been shown related disorders, as well design other technological
