Left: classification of the papers in the extracted corpus. The intersection between the blue and red zones corresponds to the set \(\mathcal {P}\cap AI\) in the main text, while the blue zone excluded from this intersection represents the set \(\mathcal {P}\cap \overline{AI}\). The green set \(\overline{\mathcal {P}}\) includes all papers added after the building of the ego-centered citation network that are not published in neuroscience journal. Right: cumulative number \(N_c\) of publications in the two main subsets considered in this paper. The inset shows the instantaneous part of AI-related publications in the whole neuroscience corpus
