Edge-centric functional network representations of human cerebral cortex reveal overlapping system-level architecture

J Faskowitz, FZ Esfahlani, Y Jo, O Sporns… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Network neuroscience has relied on a node-centric network model in which cells, populations
and regions are linked to one another via anatomical or functional connections. This …

[HTML][HTML] Local structure-function relationships in human brain networks across the lifespan

F Zamani Esfahlani, J Faskowitz, J Slack… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
A growing number of studies have used stylized network models of communication to predict
