The neuronal implementation of representational geometry in primate prefrontal cortex.
Sci Adv

Translational Neurotechnology Laboratory, Department of Neurosurgery, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Technical University of Munich, Germany.
Modern neuroscience has seen the rise of a population-doctrine that represents cognitive variables using geometrical structures in activity space. Representational geometry does not, however, account for how individual neurons implement these representations. Leveraging the principle of sparse coding, we present a framework to dissect representational geometry into biologically interpretable components that retain links to single neurons.

A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas have so far had their greatest impact in motor neuroscience, but they hold great promise for resolving open questions in cognition as well. Here, we codify the population doctrine and survey recent work that leverages this view to specifically probe cognition.

The analysis of multiple population structures (biodemographic, genetic and socio-cultural) and their inter-relations contribute to a deeper understanding of population structure and population dynamics. Genetically, the population structure corresponds to the deviation of random mating conditioned by a limited number of ancestors, by restricted migration in the social or geographic space, or by preference for certain consanguineous unions. Through the isonymic method, surname frequency and distribution across the population can supply quantitative information on the structure of a human population, as they constitute universal socio-cultural variables.

- Christianity transformed from a small sect to the largest religion over 2000 years, raising questions about whether its spread was influenced more by leaders or common people.
- The Christianization of Austronesian cultures was analyzed, focusing on factors like political hierarchy, social inequality, and population size to understand conversion times.
- Findings revealed that conversion typically took under 30 years, with societies led by political figures and smaller populations converting most rapidly, while social inequality had little impact on conversion rates.
