Network measures of clustered and homogeneous cultures.

The table shows the major topological descriptors of the functional networks investigated, corresponding to a clustered neuronal organization and to a homogeneous one. Average degree refers to the mean number of connections per node, and the average strength to the mean weight per node. All the cultures were maintained and studied identically (see Methods). Experiments cover almost days of development in vitro (DIV). All clustered cultures are strongly assortative, while the homogeneous ones tend to be weakly assortative, or neutral.Network measures of clustered and homogeneous cultures.
