Homeostatic structural plasticity increasesthe efficiency of small-world networks
In networks with small-world topology, which are characterised by a high clustering coefficient and a short characteristic path length, information can be transmitted efficiently and at relatively low costs. The brain is composed of small-world networks, and evolution may have optimized brain connec...
