Incremental accumulation of linguistic context in artificial and biological neural networks by Refael Tikochinski, Ariel Goldstein, Yoav Meiri, Uri Hasson, Roi Reichart

“…Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown success in predicting neural signals associated with narrative processing, but their approach to integrating context over large timescales differs fundamentally from that of the human brain. In this study, we show how the brain, unlike LLMs that process large text windows in parallel, integrates short-term and long-term contextual information through an incremental mechanism. …”

Disruption of the Serotonergic System after Neonatal Hypoxia-Ischemia in a Rodent Model by Kathryn M. Buller, Julie A. Wixey, Hanna E. Reinebrant

“…Identifying which specific neuronal phenotypes are vulnerable to neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, where in the brain they are damaged, and the mechanisms that produce neuronal losses are critical to determine the anatomical substrates responsible for neurological impairments in hypoxic-ischemic brain-injured neonates. …”

Spindle Activity Orchestrates Plasticity during Development and Sleep by Christoph Lindemann, Joachim Ahlbeck, Sebastian H. Bitzenhofer, Ileana L. Hanganu-Opatz

“…Spindle oscillations have been described during early brain development and in the adult brain. Besides similarities in temporal patterns and involved brain areas, neonatal spindle bursts (NSBs) and adult sleep spindles (ASSs) show differences in their occurrence, spatial distribution, and underlying mechanisms. …”

Multimodal fusion model for diagnosing mild cognitive impairment in unilateral middle cerebral artery steno-occlusive disease by Ziyi Yuan, Zhaodi Huang, Chaojun Li, Shengrong Li, Qingguo Ren, Xiaona Xia, Qingjun Jiang, Daoqiang Zhang, Qi Zhu, Xiangshui Meng, Xiangshui Meng

“…ObjectivesTo propose a multimodal functional brain network (FBN) and structural brain network (SBN) topological feature fusion technique based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), 3D-T1-weighted imaging (3D-T1WI), and demographic characteristics to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) steno-occlusive disease.MethodsThe performances of different algorithms on the MCI dataset were evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation. …”

Evaluation of Novel Stereotactic Cannula for Stem Cell Transplantation against Central Nervous System Disease by Masahito Kawabori, Aki Tanimori, Shinri Kitta, Hideo Shichinohe, Kiyohiro Houkin

“…Intraparenchymal transplantation can be an option for cell delivery; however, one concern regarding this method is that the transplantation cannula may cause additional brain injuries. These include vessel damage, which results in brain hemorrhage, and clogging of the cannula by brain debris and/or cell clusters, which requires replacement of the cannula or forced injection causing jet flow of the cell suspension. …”
