Weighting the structural connectome: Exploring its impact on network properties and predicting cognitive performance in the human brain.

ABSTRACT: Brain function does not emerge from isolated activity, but rather from the interactions and exchanges between neural elements that form a network known as the connectome. The human connectome consists of structural and functional aspects. The structural connectome (SC) represents the anatomical connections, and the functional connectome represents the resulting dynamics that emerge from this arrangement of structures. As there are different ways of weighting these connections, it is important to consider how such different approaches impact study conclusions. Here, we propose that different weighted connectomes result in varied network properties, and while neither superior the other, selection might affect interpretation and conclusions in different study cases. We present three different
