The rich club in the nematode network can be defined by comparison with random networks: the most conservatively defined rich club, denoted 3σ, has a normalized rich club coefficient Φnorm(k) > 1 + 3σ, where σ is the standard deviation of Φrandom(k); less conservatively defined rich clubs, denoted 2σ and 1σ, include a few more neurons with somewhat lower degree than the 3σ rich club neurons. Birth times are given as minutes after fertilization.
