Structural-functional connectivity bandwidth of the human brain
2022, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :For example, it is known that the number of axons is directly proportional to gray matter volume across 59 mammalian species (Laughlin and Sejnowski, 2003) and the folds of the human cerebral cortex minimize the total lengths of axons required to join them (Klyachko and Stevens, 2003; Simoncelli and Olshausen, 2001). Shorter axons increase conduction velocity and decrease voltage entropy (Hodgkin and Rushton, 1946; Spruston et al., 2013; Beierlein, 2014), making these paths more efficient than longer paths. The axons comprising these paths are organized to balance integration and segregation (i.e., small worldness; Bassett and Bullmore, 2017; Watts and Strogatz, 1998) whilst also reducing signal traffic (Laughlin and Sejnowski, 2003) and wiring cost (Cherniak, 1992; Mitchison, 1991).
