Question 33

+1 markNumerical answer

A research team studying neural connectivity in the prefrontal cortex has mapped interactions between key neurons involved in decision-making processes. They modeled the network using a modified Watts-Strogatz approach with N=4 nodes (neurons) and the following adjacency matrix:

P1P2P3P4
P10101
P21010
P30101
P41010

Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
