What resolves this contention: On the implication of the high binary density of the mouse cortico-cortical graph: Gămănuţ et al. argue that the 97% density reveals a qualitatively denser graph than macaque, while Beul et al.'s prediction analysis interprets the bulk of the weak links as rule-based but functionally unpredictable, suggesting that the binary-density difference is largely driven by the weak-link tail rather than by a uniform increase in connectivity strength. / The cortical network has a density of 97%, considerably higher than the 66% density reported in macaques. / Weighted medium and strong links are predictable with an 85%-90% accuracy (mouse) and 70%-80% (macaque), whereas weak links are not predictable in either species.
