Neuroplasticity explained by broad-scale networks and modularity?

چکیده
The human brain is a formidably complex network, the seat of cognition and consciousness and many other remarkable features, including the capacities of growth, self-organisation, reorganisation and the ability to recover from significant damage. This combined dynamic capability is known as plasticity. Considerable neuro-reorganisation is a feature of the brain commonly thought to be restricted to childhood (the Kennard Principle); however, it is known to be a feature of adult brains as well. This paper provides a brief history of early theory and research, still valid today, on brain or neuroplasticity before discussing how current network theory and new brain mapping research on modularity can be synthesised to provide insight into this adaptive function from structure.

Mining Overlapping Communities in Real-world Networks Based on Extended Modularity Gain
Detecting communities plays a vital role in studying group level patterns of a social network and it can be helpful in developing several recommendation systems such as movie recommendation, book recommendation, friend recommendation and so on. Most of the community detection algorithms can detect disjoint communities only, but in the real time scenario, a node can be a member of more than one ...

Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...

Social networks can be organized into communities of closely connected nodes, a property known as modularity. Because diseases, information, and behaviors spread faster within communities than between communities, understanding modularity has broad implications for public policy, epidemiology and the social sciences. Explanations for community formation in social networks often incorporate the ...

Community structure is vital to discover the important structures and potential property of complex networks. In recent years, the increasing quality of local community detection approaches has become a hot spot in the study of complex network due to the advantages of linear time complexity and applicable for large-scale networks. However, there are many shortcomings in these methods such as in...
متن کاملModular Brain Network Organization Predicts Response to Cognitive Training in Older Adults
Cognitive training interventions are a promising approach to mitigate cognitive deficits common in aging and, ultimately, to improve functioning in older adults. Baseline neural factors, such as properties of brain networks, may predict training outcomes and can be used to improve the effectiveness of interventions. Here, we investigated the relationship between baseline brain network modularit...
