However, biological mechanisms linking the functions with the network structures have not been entirely clarified. Here, I will talk about examples in which hypothetical\/empirical neural dynamics on brain networks can fill such a function-structure gap. In particular, I will introduce a recent study showing importance of development of a certain graph theoretical structure\u2014rich club organisation\u2014during human adolescence, and explain why the network topology is functionally critical for dynamic neural synchrony in the large-scale brain network. Moreover, I will also show an association between impairment of such anatomical network architectures and prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, and discuss a possibility that the association can be accounted for by network dynamics in empirically-defined energy landscape in human brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/2215"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cinetjp-static3.nict.go.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
