Complex Networks

"This review demonstrates how network science approaches have been applied to the study of human cognition and how network science can uniquely address and provide novel insight on important questions related to the complexity of cognitive systems and the processes that occur within those systems.

Cognitive Network Science: A Review of Research on Cognition through the Lens of Network Representations, Processes, and Dynamics Network science provides a set of quantitative methods to investigate complex systems, including human cognition. Although cognitive theories in different domains are strongly based on a network perspective, the application of network science methodologies to quantitatively study cognition has so fa...

"We offer an alternative principle to assess the physiological role of neuronal synchrony based on identifying structural anomalies in the underlying network and studying their impacts on the collective dynamics. In particular, we focus on autapses - time delayed self-feedback links that exist on a small fraction of neurons in the network, and investigate their impacts on network synchronization through a detailed stability analysis."

A protein-protein interaction network (PPIN), a.k.a. protein interactome, can be modeled as an undirected graph: vertices represent proteins and edges represent interactions between proteins.
