In this section, we will review certain aspects of the current knowledge about the cortical networks in human and animal brains related to their scaling and self-organizing properties. Several neuroscientists suggested in the 2000s that the human brain network is both scale-free and small-world, although the arguments and evidence for these hypotheses are indirect [42, 53] , including power-law distributions of anatomical connectivity as well as the statistical properties of state transitions in the brain [54] . The brain networks possess many characteristics typical to other networks, including the one-over-frequency and power-law activities, avalanches, small-world, scale-free, and fractal topography. ./cache/cord-034833-ynti5g8j.txt ./txt/cord-034833-ynti5g8j.txt
