Over the last decade, the study of complex networks has expanded across diverse scientific fields. Increasingly, science is concerned with the structure, behavior, and evolution of complex systems ranging from cells to ecosystems. Modern network approaches are beginning to reveal fundamental principles of brain architecture and function, and in Networks of the Brain, Olaf Sporns describes how the integrative nature of brain function can be illuminated from a complex network perspective. Highlighting the many emerging points of contact between neuroscience and network science, the book serves to introduce network theory to neuroscientists and neuroscience to those working on theoretical network models. Brain networks span the microscale of individual cells and synapses and the macroscale of cognitive systems and embodied cognition. Sporns emphasizes how networks connect levels of organization in the brain and how they link structure to function. In order to keep the book accessible and focused on the relevance to neuroscience of network approaches, he offers an informal and nonmathematical treatment of the subject. After describing the basic concepts of network theory and the fundamentals of brain connectivity, Sporns discusses how network approaches can reveal principles of brain architecture. He describes new links between network anatomy and function and investigates how networks shape complex brain dynamics and enable adaptive neural computation. The book documents the rapid pace of discovery and innovation while tracing the historical roots of the field. The study of brain connectivity has already opened new avenues of study in neuroscience. Networks of the Brain offers a synthesis of the sciences of complex networks and the brain that will be an essential foundation for future research.
这本是几年前作为lab meeting专题报告来学的,一人要报告其中2-3章。算是把我领进了脑网络的门。
评分(假装读过)
评分虽然network本身如同玄学,或者如同修辞,但是作者看待生物系统的角度我很认同。整本书没有什么技术性的内容,基本上是走马观花,不过作为入门也还不错了,每一章展开其实都相当庞大(这个领域规模本身也颇壮观)。况且近几年也已经进入了瓶颈没什么新东西,不懂的地方大家也还是不懂。最值得一看的我觉得是最后两章。我个人比较有用的是最后一章,虽然很科普,但是总结了一些有用的文献,概述也比较全面。network领域可能已经进入了百足之虫死而不僵的阶段,新的突破我觉得应该在于找到biological basis和可以连接这个理论和真实物理模型的方法上。network是很抽象的数学问题,但是因为比较容易被描述所以比较通俗易懂,可也正因如此被严重滥用(比如small world、scale free这些概念)。
