Another review. Third page has a very dense digest of network measures, including many from social net theory.

Quotes

• "Longer axonal projections are more expensive in terms of their material and energy costs"
• "The high density of connections between functionally related regions increases the clustering coefficient of the graph, whereas the long-range connections between different modules of clusters, even though they are relatively few in number, keep the path length low. Thus, the small-world architecture of a brain functional network is cloasely related to its modularity (Meunier, Achard, Morcom, Bullmore Neuroimage 2008)."
• "It is currently unknown whether large-scale cortical networks in the adult brain undergo structural modifications on fast timescales"
  • and therefore, 'what learning looks like'
