Description
Summary:Highlights ► The brain can be represented as a complex network with functionally connected units at several levels that changes in neurological and psychiatric disease. ► Existing clinical neurophysiology techniques and network models to explain network properties are reviewed. ► In addition to the already established network models, we suggest a heuristic model including hierarchical modularity.
