summaryFrom the brain over the Internet to social groups, complex networks are a prominent framework to describe collective behaviors in many areas. Empirical studies have lead to the hypothesis that in brain networks, specialized neural populations would be largely distributed and linked to form a web-like structure. In this seminar we would like to present some advances and aproaches that we are currently developing. We will show how the complex netwoks framework can be successfully applied to obtain a description of the brain processes. This approach might provide new insights into the understanding of the anatomo/functional substrates of the brain during different pathological or cognitive states.
