Investigating the spectral features of the brain meso-scale structure at rest

Recent studies provide novel insights into the meso-scale organization of the brain, highlighting the co-occurrence of different structures: classic assortative (modular), disassortative, and core-periphery.

Description
Summary:Recent studies provide novel insights into the meso-scale organization of the brain, highlighting the co-occurrence of different structures: classic assortative (modular), disassortative, and core-periphery. However, the spectral properties of the brain meso-scale remain mostly unexplored. To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated how the meso-scale structure is organized across the frequency domain. We analyzed the resting state activity of healthy participants with source-localized high-density electroencephalography signals. Then, we inferred the community structure using weighted stochastic block-model (WSBM) to capture the landscape of meso-scale structures across the frequency domain. We found that different meso-scale modalities co-exist and are diversely organized over the frequency spectrum. Specifically, we found a core-periphery structure dominance, but we also highlighted a selective increase of disassortativity in the low frequency bands (
