Relation of connectome topology to brain volume across 103 mammalian species.

ABSTRACT: The brain connectome is an embedded network of anatomically interconnected brain regions, and the study of its topological organization in mammals has become of paramount importance due to its role in scaffolding brain function and behavior. Unlike many other observable networks, brain connections incur material and energetic cost, and their length and density are volumetrically constrained by the skull. Thus, an open question is how differences in brain volume impact connectome topology. We address this issue using the MaMI database, a diverse set of mammalian connectomes reconstructed from 201 animals, covering 103 species and 12 taxonomy orders, whose brain size varies over more than 4 orders of magnitude. Our analyses focus on relationships between volume and modular organization. Afte
