Abstract
We try to illuminate the relationship between structural and functional connectivity by studying synchronization dynamics based on realistic anatomical network of cat cortical connectivity. A multilevel model is considered, where each cortical area is modeled by a subnetwork of interacting excitable neurons. We show that the model displays biologically plausible dynamics, and the synchronization patterns reveal a hierarchical cluster organization in the network structure. A group of brain areas involved into multimodal association can be identified by comparing the dynamical clusters to the topological communities of the network.
