Dynamic Ensemble Modeling Approach to Nonstationary Neural Decoding in Brain-Computer Interfaces [PDF]
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have enabled prosthetic device control by decoding motor movements from neural activities. Neural signals recorded from cortex exhibit nonstationary property due to abrupt noises and neuroplastic changes in brain activities during motor control.

Neuroplasticity and Psychedelics: a comprehensive examination of classic and non-classic compounds in pre and clinical models [PDF]
Neuroplasticity, the ability of the nervous system to adapt throughout an organism's lifespan, offers potential as both a biomarker and treatment target for neuropsychiatric conditions. Psychedelics, a burgeoning category of drugs, are increasingly prominent in psychiatric research, prompting inquiries into their mechanisms of action.

Neuroplasticity and Corruption in Model Mechanisms: A Case Study Of Indirect Object Identification [PDF]
Previous research has shown that fine-tuning language models on general tasks enhance their underlying mechanisms. However, the impact of fine-tuning on poisoned data and the resulting changes in these mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigates the changes in a model's mechanisms during toxic fine-tuning and identifies the primary ...

Neuroplastic Expansion in Deep Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
The loss of plasticity in learning agents, analogous to the solidification of neural pathways in biological brains, significantly impedes learning and adaptation in reinforcement learning due to its non-stationary nature. To address this fundamental challenge, we propose a novel approach, {\it Neuroplastic Expansion} (NE), inspired by cortical ...

Advancing Out-of-Distribution Detection via Local Neuroplasticity [PDF]
In the domain of machine learning, the assumption that training and test data share the same distribution is often violated in real-world scenarios, requiring effective out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. This paper presents a novel OOD detection method that leverages the unique local neuroplasticity property of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs ...

Effects of pain on cortical homeostatic plasticity in humans: a systematic review
. Homeostatic plasticity (HP) is a negative feedback mechanism that prevents excessive facilitation or depression of cortical excitability (CE). Cortical HP responses in humans have been investigated by using 2 blocks of noninvasive brain stimulation ...

It has been argued that age-related changes in the neurochemical and neurophysiological properties of the GABAergic system may underlie increases in reaction time (RT) in older adults.

Neuroplasticity in addictive disorders
Compulsive drug-taking behavior develops in vulnerable individuals who ingest substances that activate the reward system. This intense activation produces learned associations to cues that predict drug availability. With repetition the reward system becomes reflexively activated by cues alone, leading to a drive toward drug-taking.

Contribute to balance, wire in accordance: Emergence of backpropagation from a simple, bio-plausible neuroplasticity rule [PDF]
Backpropagation (BP) has been pivotal in advancing machine learning and remains essential in computational applications and comparative studies of biological and artificial neural networks. Despite its widespread use, the implementation of BP in the brain remains elusive, and its biological plausibility is often questioned due to inherent issues such ...
