Directed circular wiring diagram of the C. elegans combined network. The colors of the links showed the weights of each connection (Color: Weight ranges; light grey: 1-5, grey: 6-10, green: 11-15, blue: 16-20, orange: 21-25, pink: 26-30, and red: over 30). The color of the name of neuron indicated their neuronal type [1, 2] (sensory: red, inter: green, motor: blue, polymodal: purple, and unknown: grey). The links departed from blue segment of a neuron and arrived to red segment of a neuron. The lengths of the orange segments indicated total synaptic strengths (weights) of neurons.
The average clustering coefficient and the average global efficiency when a target node deleted. A deletion of one of listed neurons induced remarkable changes in each measure.
