Table 6.

Detailed connections deleted in the early stage of transition. It should be noted that (85,2) in this table means there is a connection between Region 85 and Region 2. The first column “Deleted connections number = 10” records the first ten connections deleted from the NC brain network; the second and the third columns record the additional connections deleted when our model evolved to the further steps.

Deleted Connections Number = 10	Deleted Connections Number = 20	Deleted Connections Number = 30
