celegansneural — C. elegans neurons (1986)
- Description
The neural network of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, compiled by D. J. Watts and S. H. Strogatz from the original reconstruction of its nervous system from serial-section electron micrographs by J. G. White, E. Southgate, J. N. Thomson and S. Brenner (1986), and used in their study of small-world networks. Nodes are 297 neurons, and a directed edge represents a synaptic connection or gap junction between two neurons; the meaning of the edge direction is not documented in the source. The data were obtained from the website of D. J. Watts and redistributed by M. E. J. Newman, who renumbered the nodes consecutively.
The network has the following properties:
- (Node)
label: the node number in Watts' original data file (the neuron names are not included). - (Edge)
value: the edge weight given by Watts (an integer from 1 to 70), which reflects the number of connections between the two neurons; its precise definition is not documented in the source.
