Caenorhabditis elegans connectome, where the multiplex consists of layers corresponding to different synaptic junctions: electric (“ElectrJ”), chemical monadic (“MonoSyn”), and polyadic (“PolySyn”).
The multiplex network used in the paper makes use of three layers corresponding to:
- Electric (“ElectrJ”)
- Chemical Monadic (“MonoSyn”)
- Chemical Polyadic (“PolySyn”)
There are 279 nodes, labelled with integer ID between 1 and 279, and 5863 synaptic connections. The multiplex is undirected (with only one direction specified) and unweighted, stored as edges list in the file
celegans_connectome_multiplex.edges
with format
layerID nodeID nodeID weight
(Note: weight is 1 for all edges)
The IDs of all layers are stored in
celegans_connectome_layers.txt
The IDs of nodes, together with their name can be found in the file
celegans_connectome_nodes.txt
