الوصف: Researchers continue exploring neurons' intricate patterns of activity in the cerebral visual cortex in response to visual stimuli. The way neurons communicate and optimize their interactions with each other under different experimental conditions remains a topic of active investigation. Probabilistic Graphical Models are invaluable tools in neuroscience research, as they let us identify the functional connections, or conditional statistical dependencies, between neurons. Graphical models represent these connections as a graph, where nodes represent neurons and edges indicate the presence of functional connections between them. We developed the R package neurofuncon for the computation and visualization of functional connectivity graphs from large-scale data based on the Graphical lasso. We illustrate the use of this package with publicly available two-photon calcium microscopy imaging data from approximately 10000 neurons in a 1mm cubic section of a mouse visual cortex.
