How
are our brains wired? How are pathways between neurons organized? What
patterns of connections allow us to think the way we do, or distinguish
our ways of thinking from those of other animals? These and related
questions are the bread and butter of an excellent new textbook.
FUNDAMENTALS OF BRAIN NETWORK ANALYSIS
By Alex Fornito, Andrew Zalesky and Edward Bullmore, 2016 Elsevier (Academic Press) ISBN 978-0-12-407908-3 Price: £60.99
Fundamentals of Brain Network Analysis
by Fornito, Zalesky and Bullmore, is a thorough and didactic
presentation of the tools available to research scientists wishing to
engage in the emerging field of network neuroscience (Bullmore and Sporns, 2009).
Blending computational tools and mathematical frameworks from physics,
engineering, statistics, and computer science with the reams of data now
being collected from diverse neural systems, network neuroscience is a
truly interdisciplinary and ground-breaking field poised to transform
our understanding of the brain. Rather than focusing solely on the
function of single neurons or brain regions, these efforts expand the
purview of our interests to the pattern of interactions between neural …
