5. Glossary

5.1 Graph Vocabulary

Source Vertex-

Destination Vertex-

Centrality and Betweenness are not basic properties of graphs, they are measures of graphs

Centrality- fraction of all paths

Betweenness-

Bursts- avalanches that involve all neurons. mega-avalanches. where an avalanche is 1/f or 1/f^2^ behavior, bursts are at 1/f^5^ ish

5.2 Neuroscience Vocabulary

Neurons: all neurons have energy, typical behavior includes jittering. gaussian energy. every neuron has noise

endogenously active cells- starter neurons, 10% neurons are endogenously active

Excitatory - An excitatory neuron is defined as a neuron that triggers a positive change in the membrane of a post synaptic neuron it connects to. An inhibitory neuron triggers a negative change in the membrane of a post synaptic neuron it connects to. (Quora)

Inhibitory - Information gathered from: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-excitatory-and-inhibitory-neurons#:~:text=An%20excitatory%20neurons%20is%20defined,synaptic%20neuron%20it%20conencts%20to.
