Structural Models of Cortical Networks with Long-Range Connectivity
Figure 5
Top left: cluster coefficient and average shortest path length for RPN with SW (upper) and FN (lower) connectivity, for different parameters and , respectively. All curves are normalized to the common maximum (, ). Shown are mean values obtained from 20 simulations for each parameter, the SEM is always below 0.003. Top right: scatter plot of the normalized values of versus for RPNs with FN, SW, and GN connectivity. The leftward bending of the SW curve reflects the small-world effect: Strong clustering (high values of ) coexists with short paths linking pairs of nodes (low values of ). Bottom left: mean distance of connected nodes for FN, GN, and SW RPNs, depending on or , respectively. All values are normalized as described above (). The SEM is below on 0.00009. Bottom right: scattering of versus for the same FN, GN, and SW RPNs.
