An essential part of our brain is a complex structure of neural fibers connecting parts of the brain. This complex structure forms a brain network that has an important role in information communication between brain regions. Since the efficient information communication in the brain is associated with the higher intelligence and longer education duration, it is still in debate what aspect of brain networks is crucial in cognitive development. In this study, we analyzed the effects of the education duration on the information communication patterns using communicability that captures the total information flows through all possible communication pathways between brain regions, not only through the shortest path. We observed that the more-educated individuals have increased communicability in the left hemisphere, and decreased interhemispheric communicability, implying that the more specialization on the left hemisphere as education duration increases.
