Spectral peculiarity and criticality of the human connectome

Abstract: We have performed the comparative spectral analysis of structural connectomes for various organisms using open-access data. Our analysis indicates several new peculiar features of the human connectome. We found that the spectral density of human connectome has the maximal deviation from the spectral density of the randomized network compared to all other organisms. For many animals except human structural peculiarities of connectomes are well reproduced in the network evolution induced by the preference of 3-cycles formation. To get the reliable fit , we discovered the crucial role of the conservation of local clusterization in human connectome evolution. We investigated for the first time the level spacing distribution in the spectrum of human connectome graph Laplacian. It turns out that the spectral statistics of human connectome corresponds exactly to the critical regime familiar in the condensed matter physics which is hybrid of Wigner-Dyson and Poisson distributions. This observation provides the strong support for the much debated statement of the brain criticality.
