Nodes and Edges: Adolescent consolidation of the hubs of the human brain connectome

Nodes of the adolescent brain’s structural network coloured by how much they change between 14 and 24 years of age. The size of the nodes represent how well connected they are and halfway through the movie the smallest nodes are removed and only the hubs remain. The edges that are added in are the strongest connections between these hub regions and represent the brain’s rich club. Credit: Kirstie Whitaker
