English: Functional networks and the corresponding 2D histograms obtained before, during, and after exposure to 12 mM glucose. In this movie, temporal changes of the architectures of functional networks and of 2D histograms can be seen in steps of Δτ = 100 seconds. Note how the density and color of connections change throughout the experiment. During the ON and OFF phases, the respective graphs are almost fully connected. In 2D histograms, there is a strong tendency of nearby cells to be much better correlated with each other than with the remote ones during the HG regime. Interestingly, in none of the other regimes a similar trend can be noticed, as no relationship exists between the distribution of correlation coefficients and the Euclidean distance.
