Abstract

We investigated the degree distribution of brain networks extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging of the human brain. In particular, the distributions are compared between macroscopic brain networks using region-based nodes and mesoscopic brain networks using voxel-based nodes. We found that the distribution from these networks follow the same family of distributions and represent a continuum of exponentially truncated power law distributions.
