The Temporal Pattern of a Lesion Modulates the Functional Network Topology of Remote Brain Regions

Figure 1

The panel shows an example of a graph, which is a mathematical description of a network, consisting of a collection of nodes and edges. The dots represent nodes, and the lines represent edges connecting the nodes. There are three modules in the graph in which connections within modules (intramodular connections) are much denser than the connections between modules (intermodular connections). The shortest path length describes the minimum number of connections that should be passed to travel between two nodes and is inversely related to the global efficiency.
