• Abstract: In this essay, we explore a point of intersection between deep learning and neuroscience, through the lens of large language models, transfer learning and network compression. Just like perceptual and cognitive neurophysiology has inspired effective deep neural network architectures which in turn make a useful model for understanding the brain, here we explore how biological neural development might inspire efficient and robust optimization procedures which in turn serve as a useful model for the maturation and aging of the brain.

  We propose a biologically-informed framework for enhancing artificial neural networks (ANNs) Our proposed dual-framework approach highlights the potential of spiking neural networks (SNNs) for emulating diverse spiking behaviors. We outline how the proposed approach integrates brain-inspired compartmental models and task-driven SNNs, bioinspiration and complexity.

NeuroVNN is pre-trained as a regression model on healthy population to predict chronological age. NeuroVNN adds anatomical interpretability to brain age and has a scale-free' characteristic that allows its transference to datasets curated according to any arbitrary brain atlas.

  Deep learning continues to play as a powerful state-of-art technique that has achieved extraordinary accuracy levels in various domains of regression and classification tasks. The original goal of proposing the neural network model is to improve the understanding of complex human brains using a mathematical expression approach. Recent deep learning techniques continue to lose the interpretations of its functional process by being treated mostly as a black-box approximator.

  We propose that the immature prefrontal cortex (PFC) use its primary functionality of detecting hierarchical patterns in temporal signals. Our hypothesis is that the PFC detects the hierarchical structure in temporal sequences in the form of ordinal patterns and use them to index information hierarchically in different parts of the brain. By doing so, it gives the tools to the language-ready brain for manipulating abstract knowledge and planning temporally ordered information.
