Network architecture of the long-distance pathways in the macaque brain
Dharmendra S. Modha and Raghavendra Singh
Start of Abstract
Understanding the network structure of white matter communication pathways is essential for unraveling the mysteries of the brain's function, organization, and evolution. To this end, we derive a unique network incorporating 410 anatomical tracing studies . . . network consists of 383 hierarchically organized regions spanning cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia; models the presence of 6,602 directed long-distance connections; . .
The Supplemental Material!! is especially rich in visualizations of various types. The images shown here have all of the hierarchies with a bit of a tight fit. There are many images showing the individual hierarchies.
The images showing the "bundling" of the fibers shows what the graph would look like with no bundling and with two intermediate steps. In the image to the left - Figure 1 from the paper - you can see all of the possible connections, but, the fibers that run parallel are "bundled" to reduce clutter.
One thing the supplementary material does not have is a vector version of Figure 1. Figure S1. is a vector version.
And the second image Figure S5. is is the whole hierarchy.

The CoCoMac data base seems to be defunct, but, Kotter 2005 gives context. For example, GM-Definition is the General Map, as in the acronym map, general map and regional map. BTW, below is a similar image for humans by Andrei Irimia
