Abstract

t

h

o The development of new technologies for mapping structural and functional brain connectivity has

r

M led to the creation of comprehensive network maps of neuronal circuits and systems. The

a

n architecture of these brain networks can be examined and analyzed with a large variety of graph

u

s theory tools. Methods for detecting modules, or network communities, are of particular interest

c

r

i because they uncover major building blocks or subnetworks that are particularly densely

p

t connected, often corresponding to specialized functional components. A large number of methods

for community detection have become available and are now widely applied in network

neuroscience. This article first surveys a number of these methods, with an emphasis on their

advantages and shortcomings; then it summarizes major findings on the existence of modules in

both structural and functional brain networks and briefly considers their potential functional roles

in brain
