Connectomics is a field of neuroscience that analyzes neuronal connections. A connectome is a complete map of a neuronal system, comprising all neuronal connections between its structures. The term "connectome" is close to the word "genome"…

Much of the past work in network analysis has focused on analyzing discrete graphs, where binary edges represent the "presence" or "absence" of a relationship. Since traditional network measures (e.g., betweenness centrality) utilize a…
