Abstract

Papo and Buldú [1] ask whether the brain truly acts as a network, or whether it is a convenient coincidence that it can be described with the tools of complex network theory, and the emerging field of network neuroscience. After a broad ranging discussion of networkness they explore some of the ways in which the combination of brain structure and dynamics can indeed better be understood as realising a complex network that subserves brain function. To complement and bolster this perspective, which is informed largely from a physics viewpoint, we direct the reader to additional tools, approaches and insights available from applied mathematics that may further help address some of the many remaining open challenges in this field.
