Misalignment Between Backpropagation and the Hierarchy of Brain Responses to Images

Researchers using fMRI and MEG data found that while backpropagated gradients in deep neural networks can predict brain activity in higher visual cortex, their spatial and temporal organization fundamentally diverges from how the human brain processes visual information. This suggests that although artificial and biological neural networks may learn similar representations, they employ distinctly different learning mechanisms.

Knowledge Graph-Driven Expert-Level Reasoning for Neuroscience

Researchers demonstrate that knowledge graphs extracted from a single neuroscience textbook can be converted into high-quality training data to fine-tune language models, enabling expert-level reasoning that outperforms larger LLMs while using far fewer parameters. This approach challenges the prevailing assumption that domain expertise requires massive, diverse datasets, showing instead that structured, curated knowledge can produce superior specialized AI systems.

Mapping generative AI use in the human brain: divergent neural, academic, and mental health profiles of functional versus socio emotional AI use

A neuroimaging study of 222 university students reveals that generative AI use produces divergent brain and mental health outcomes depending on usage patterns: functional AI use correlates with better academics and larger prefrontal regions, while socio-emotional AI use associates with depression, anxiety, and smaller social-processing brain areas. The findings suggest AI's impact on the developing brain is highly context-dependent, requiring differentiated approaches to maximize educational benefits while minimizing mental health risks.
