Title: Reconstructing the Hemodynamic Response Function via a Bimodal Transformer
Authors: Yoni Choukroun, Lior Golgher, Pablo Blinder, Lior Wolf
Abstract summary: The relationship between blood flow and neuronal activity is widely recognized, with blood flow frequently serving as a surrogate for neuronal activity in fMRI studies. At the microscopic level, neuronal activity has been shown to influence blood flow in nearby blood vessels. This study introduces the first predictive model that addresses this issue directly at explicit neuronal population level.

Abstract: The relationship between blood flow and neuronal activity is widely recognized, with blood flow frequently serving as a surrogate for neuronal activity in fMRI studies. At the microscopic level, neuronal activity has been shown to influence blood flow in nearby blood vessels. This study introduces the first predictive model that addresses this issue directly at the explicit neuronal population level. Using in vivo recordings in awake mice, we employ a novel spatiotemporal bimodal transformer architecture to infer current blood flow based on both historical blood flow and ongoing spontaneous neuronal activity. Our findings indicate that incorporating neuronal activity significantly enhances the model's ability to predict blood flow values. Through analysis of the model's behavior, we propose hypotheses regarding the largely unexplored nature of the hemodynamic response to neuronal activity.

Modeling dynamic neural activity by combining naturalistic video stimuli and stimulus-independent latent factors [5.967290675400836]
We propose a probabilistic model that incorporates video inputs along with stimulus-independent latent factors to capture variability in neuronal responses. After training and testing our model on mouse V1 neuronal responses, we found that it outperforms video-only models in terms of log-likelihood. We find that the learned latent factors strongly correlate with mouse behavior, although the model was trained without behavior data.

Confidence Regulation Neurons in Language Models [91.90337752432075]
This study investigates the mechanisms by which large language models represent and regulate uncertainty in next-token predictions. Entropy neurons are characterized by an unusually high weight norm and influence the final layer normalization (LayerNorm) scale to effectively scale down the logits. token frequency neurons, which we describe here for the first time, boost or suppress each token's logit proportionally to its log frequency, thereby shifting the output distribution towards or away from the unigram distribution.

In this study, we first construct the brain-effective network via the dynamic causal model.

Mesoscopic modeling of hidden spiking neurons [3.6868085124383616]
We use coarse-graining and mean-field approximations to derive a bottom-up, neuronally-grounded latent variable model (neuLVM) neuLVM can be explicitly mapped to a recurrent, multi-population spiking neural network (SNN) We show, on synthetic spike trains, that a few observed neurons are sufficient for neuLVM to perform efficient model inversion of large SNNs.

Cross-Frequency Coupling Increases Memory Capacity in Oscillatory Neural Networks [69.42260428921436]
Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is associated with information integration across populations of neurons. We construct a model of CFC which predicts a computational role for observed $theta - gamma$ oscillatory circuits in the hippocampus and cortex. We show that the presence of CFC increases the memory capacity of a population of neurons connected by plastic synapses.
