• Title: Towards an Hybrid Hodgkin-Huxley Action Potential Generation Model
• Authors: Lautaro Estienne
• Abstract summary: We investigate the possibility of finding the Hodgkin-Huxley model's parametric functions using only two simple measurements. Experiments were carried out using data generated from the original Hodgkin-Huxley model. Results show that a simple two-layer artificial neural network architecture trained on a minimal amount of data can learn to model some of the fundamental proprieties of the action potential generation.

• Abstract: Mathematical models for the generation of the action potential can improve the understanding of physiological mechanisms that are consequence of the electrical activity in neurons. In such models, some equations involving empirically obtained functions of the membrane potential are usually defined. The best known of these models, the Hodgkin-Huxley model, is an example of this paradigm since it defines the conductances of ion channels in terms of the opening and closing rates of each type of gate present in the channels. These functions need to be derived from laboratory measurements that are often very expensive and produce little data because they involve a time-space-independent measurement of the voltage in a single channel of the cell membrane. In this work, we investigate the possibility of finding the Hodgkin-Huxley model's parametric functions using only two simple measurements (the membrane voltage as a function of time and the injected current that triggered that voltage) and applying Deep Learning methods to estimate these functions. This would result in an hybrid model of the action potential generation composed by the original Hodgkin-Huxley equations and an Artificial Neural Network that requires a small set of easy-to-perform measurements to be trained. Experiments were carried out using data generated from the original Hodgkin-Huxley model, and results show that a simple two-layer artificial neural network (ANN) architecture trained on a minimal amount of data can learn to model some of the fundamental proprieties of the action potential generation by estimating the model's rate functions.

We propose a novel generative model comprising three components: (1) a latent vector with a learnable prior distribution; (2) a molecule generation model based on a causal Transformer, which uses the latent vector as a prompt; and (3) a property prediction model that predicts a molecule's target properties and/or constraint values using the latent prompt.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

  neuroscience applications collect high-dimensional predictors' corresponding to brain activity in different regions along with behavioral outcomes. Joint factor models for the predictors and outcomes are natural, but maximum likelihood estimates of these models can struggle in practice when there is model misspecification. We propose an alternative inference strategy based on supervised autoencoders; rather than placing a probability distribution on the latent factors, we define them as an unknown function of the high-dimensional predictors.
