The hyperbolic brain

Structural brain networks are spatially embedded networks whose architecture has been shaped by physical constraints and functional needs throughout evolution. Euclidean space is typically assumed as the natural geometry of the brain. However, distances in hyperbolic space offer a more accurate interpretation of the structure of connectomes across species, including multiscale self-similarity in the human brain. Implications extend to debates, like criticality in the brain, and applications, including tools for brain simulation.
