Understanding the intricate architecture of the brain through the lens of graph theory and advanced neuroimaging techniques has become increasingly pivotal in unraveling the complexities of neural networks. This bibliometric analysis explores the evolving landscape of brain research by focusing on the intersection of graph theoretical approaches, neuroanatomy, and diverse neuroimaging modalities. A systematic search strategy was used that resulted in the retrieval of a comprehensive dataset of articles and reviews. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, a detailed scientometric analysis was conducted that revealed emerging trends, key research clusters, and influential contributions within this multidisciplinary domain. Our review highlights the growing synergy between graph theory methodologies and neuroimaging modalities, reflecting the evolving paradigms shaping our understanding of brain networks. This study offers comprehensive insight into brain network research, emphasizing growth patterns, pivotal contributions, and global collaborative networks, thus serving as a valuable resource for researchers and institutions navigating this interdisciplinary landscape.

Identifying the driver nodes of a network has crucial implications in biological systems from unveiling causal interactions to informing effective intervention strategies. Despite recent advances in network control theory, results remain inaccurate as the number of drivers becomes too small compared to the network size, thus limiting the concrete usability in many real-life applications. To overcome this issue, we introduced a framework that integrates principles from spectral graph theory and output controllability to project the network state into a smaller topological space formed by the Laplacian network structure.

Structural indicators, also known as structural descriptors, including order parameters, have been proposed to quantify the structural properties of water to account for its anomalous behaviors. However, these indicators, mainly designed for bulk water, are not naturally transferrable to the vicinity of ions due to disruptions in the immediate neighboring space and a resulting loss of feature completeness. To address these non-bulk defects, we introduced a structural indicator that draws on the concept of clique number from graph theory and the criterion in agglomerative clustering, denoted as the average cluster number.

Allostatic self-efficacy (ASE) represents a computational theory of fatigue and depression. In brief, it postulates that (i) fatigue is a feeling state triggered by a metacognitive diagnosis of loss of control over bodily states (persistently elevated interoceptive surprise); and that (ii) generalization of low self-efficacy beliefs beyond bodily control induces depression. Here, we converted ASE theory into a structural causal model (SCM).

We study the algebraic connectivity for several classes of random semi-regular graphs. For large random semi-regular bipartite graphs, we explicitly compute both their algebraic connectivity as well as the full spectrum distribution. For an integer d∈3,7, we find families of random semi-regular graphs that have higher algebraic connectivity than random -regular graphs with the same number of vertices and edges.

Background: Brain network analysis is an emerging field of research that could lead to the development, testing and validation of novel biomarkers for epilepsy. This could shorten the diagnostic uncertainty period, improve treatment, decrease seizure risk and lead to better management. This scoping review summarises the current state of electroencephalogram (EEG)-based network abnormalities for childhood epilepsies.
