Motivation: Microbial signatures in the human microbiome are closely associated with various human diseases, driving the development of machine learning models for microbiome-based disease prediction. Despite progress, challenges remain in enhancing prediction accuracy, generalizability, and interpretability. Confounding factors, such as host's gender, age, and body mass index, significantly influence the human microbiome, complicating microbiome-based predictions.

Segregation-to-integration transformation model of memory evolution.

Netw Neurosci

December 2024

Department of Cognition, Development and Education Psychology, University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Memories are thought to use coding schemes that dynamically adjust their representational structure to maximize both persistence and efficiency. However, the nature of these coding scheme adjustments and their impact on the temporal evolution of memory after initial encoding is unclear. Here, we introduce the Segregation-to-Integration Transformation (SIT) model, a network formalization that offers a unified account of how the representational structure of a memory is transformed over time.

A generative model of the connectome with dynamic axon growth.

Netw Neurosci

December 2024

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.

Connectome generative models, otherwise known as generative network models, provide insight into the wiring principles underpinning brain network organization. While these models can approximate numerous statistical properties of empirical networks, they typically fail to explicitly characterize an important contributor to brain organization-axonal growth. Emulating the chemoaffinity-guided axonal growth, we provide a novel generative model in which axons dynamically steer the direction of propagation based on distance-dependent chemoattractive forces acting on their growth cones.

Introduction: A fundamental property of the neocortex is its columnar organization in many species. Generally, neurons of the same column share stimulus preferences and have strong anatomical connections across layers. These features suggest that neurons within a column operate as one unified network.

The remarkable success of Graph Neural Networks underscores their formidable capacity to assimilate multimodal inputs, markedly enhancing performance across a broad spectrum of domains. In the context of molecular modeling, considerable efforts have been made to enrich molecular representations by integrating data from diverse aspects. Nevertheless, current methodologies frequently compartmentalize geometric and semantic components, resulting in a fragmented approach that impairs the holistic integration of molecular attributes.
