TABLE 2.

Explanation of various topological features.

Items Abbreviation Explanation
Global efficiency Eglob The Eglob measures the global efficiency of the parallel information transfer in the network.
Local efficiency Eloc The Eloc shows how efficient the communication is among the first neighbors of the node when it is removed.
Shortest path length Lp The Lp of a network quantifies the ability for information to propagate in parallel.
Clustering coefficient Cp The Cp of a network indicates the extent of the local interconnectivity or cliquishness in a network.
Nodal betweenness Bnod Bnod of a node captures the influence of the node over information flow between all the other nodes in the network.
Nodal degree Knodal Knodal is a simple measurement of connectivity of a node with the rest of nodes in a network.
Nodal efficiency Enodal Enodal measures the ability of information propagation between a given node with the rest of nodes in a network.
Nodal path length NLp The NLp of a network quantifies the ability for information to propagate in parallel.
Small worldness Small worldness has a higher local interconnectivity but also has an approximately equivalent shortest path length compared with random networks.
Rich-club organization Rich club organization is a property common to complex networks and is hypothesized to be a basis for efficient global information transfer and complex neurological function in the brain, which defined as the density of connections between rich-club nodes.
