A Model for Evolutionary Structural Plasticity and Synchronization of a Network of Neurons

Figure 3

Evolution of the functional network. The -axis represents the 64 node’s index of the network, the -axis represents time, and each color of the right bar represents the number of neighbors connected to the node. The variation of color intensity when moving horizontally on the graph shows the evolution of the network. From time 0 to less than 400, there is no evolution. Colors are constant horizontally because neurons are isolated, but from time 400, the neurons are connected, and there is a change of color; thus, there is evolution.
