Results: Monoamines between physical modules #24

Comparing the aggregate physical network to the aggregate network including the monoamine layer, we find that the additional extrasynaptic connectivity acts to reduce the modularity and average path lengths in the overall network, thus increasing the efficiency of integrative information processing by providing shortcuts between more segregated subgraphs of the physical network

To really say this is would be good to also compare gj-syn-ma to a randomized networks resulting from keeping real gj-syn and adding a randomized ma net preserving its degree distribution. ALSO: would be good to show plot or at least quote numbers for the proportion of ma links that fall with or between modules of the physical network – compared to what one might expect by chance).

Chris is generating the results above as per our previous discussion (?)
