NETWORK NEUROSCIENCE

An ‘edgy’ new look

Nature Neuroscience volume 23, pages 1471–1472 (2020)Cite this article

Subjects

Network neuroscientists envision the brain as a network of nodes (regions) linked via edges (connections). A long-held assumption is that node-centric interactions are the primary phenomena of interest. Faskowitz et al. introduce a novel edge-centric framework with the potential to usher in a new era of discovery in connectomics research.
