We show that in hierarchical-modular network models of the brain, dynamics are anomalously slow and the spectral dimension is not defined. Inspired by Anderson localization in quantum systems, we relate the localization of neural activity—essential to embed brain functionality—to the network spectrum and to the existence of an anomalous “Lifshitz dimension.” In a broader context, our results help shed light on the relationship between structure and function in biological information-processing complex networks.}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG) MO 3049/1-1 MO 3049/3-1 GRK 2423 FRASCAL}, organization = {Spanish Ministry and Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (AEI) FIS2017-84256-P}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Economia y Conocimiento A-FQM-175-UGR18 SOMM17/6105/UGR}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Anomalous Lifshitz dimension in hierarchical networks of brain connectivity}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.043291}, author = {Esfandiary, Samaneh and Safari, Ali and Renner, Jakob and Moretti, Paolo and Muñoz Martínez, Miguel Ángel}, }
