Network building and analysis in connectomics studies: a review of algorithms, databases and technologies

The study of connectome, the complex system of connections in the human brain, has gained a central role in neurosciences. It has turned out to be popular in the field of neuroimaging to model and analyze the brain represented by a network. The graph model of the brain is a framework used to represent neuroanatomical regions or region of interest (ROI) as nodes and their connections. These connections, or edges, can either be functional, by...
