Scale-free behavior of weight distributions of connectomes by Michelle Cirunay, Géza Ódor, István Papp, Gustavo Deco

“…However, this behavior breaks at the local scale as the node strength distributions of the KKI-18 follow a stretched exponential, and the fly and mouse retina follow the log-normal distribution, respectively, which are indicative of underlying random multiplicative processes and underpins nonlocality of learning in a brain close to the critical state. However, for the case of the KKI-113 and the H01 human (1mm^{3}) datasets, the local weighted degree distributions follow an exponentially truncated power law, which may hint at the fact that the critical learning mechanism may have manifested at the node level too.…”
