What makes us humans: Differences in the critical dynamics underlying the human and fruit-fly connectome

Previous simulation studies on human connectomes suggested, that critical dynamics emerge subcrititcally in the so called Griffiths Phases. %This is the consequence of the strong heterogeneity of the graphs. Now we investigate this on the largest available brain network, the $21.662$ node fruit-fly connectome, using the Kuramoto synchronization model. As this graph is less heterogeneous, lacking modular structure and exhibit high topological dimension, we expect a difference from the previous results. Indeed, the synchronization transition is mean-field like, and the width of the transition region is larger than in random graphs, but much smaller than as for the KKI-18 human connectome. This demonstrates the effect of modular structure and dimension on the dynamics, providing a basis for better understanding the complex critical dynamics of humans.
