Synergistic information in a dynamical model implemented on the human structural connectome reveals spatially distinct associations with age
We implement the dynamical Ising model on the large scale architecture of white matter connections of healthy subjects in the age range 4-85 years, and analyze the dynamics in terms of the synergy, a quantity measuring the extent to which the joint state of pairs of variables is projected onto the dynamics of a target one. We find that the amount of synergy in explaining the dynamics of the hubs of the structural connectivity (in terms of degree strength) peaks before the critical temperature, and can thus be considered as a precursor of a critical transition. Conversely the greatest amount of synergy goes into explaining the dynamics of more central nodes. We also find that the aging of the structural connectivity is associated to significant changes in the simulated dynamics: there are brain regions whose synergy decreases with age, in particular the frontal pole, the Subcallosal area and the Supplementary Motor area; these areas could then be more likely to show a decline in terms of the capability to perform higher order computation (if structural connectivity was the sole variable). On the other hand, several regions in the temporal cortex show a positive correlation with age in the first 30 years of life, i.e. during brain maturation.
