Brain Neurological Constructs: The Neuronal Computational Schemes for Resolution of Life's Complexities

Abstract

For complex life to evolve, a sophisticated nervous system for handling its complexities was fundamental. The demand resulted in the emergence of brain's computational facility, the neuronal network. This facet of the brain is attested solidly by its inspired scientific computational neural nets which (mathematically) resolve and solve many complex problems. The presumptive general semblance of the computational operation between the two systems allows for the inference that the process in brain's neural domain also renders complexities for solution, as sets of parametric equations, like the basic implicit algorithmic formalisms underlying the operations of the scientific neural nets. This parallel is based on the fact that such devices resolve complex problems for which no declarative logical formulation is deployed. The mathematically resolved neural net problem formalism also resembled that of any theoretically known and formulated complexities which are algorithmized, in their discretized solution domains, within the context of initial and boundary value problems for direct or iterative solution by computers. The brain neuronal net algorithmization of complexities delineate the governing equations of life and living, solutions of which are achieved by trial and error learning, deploying rest of the nervous system and other faculties of living beings. The computational operations of the brain delineate two mental states: consciousness and the unconscious; the aware and unaware states which describes the interactive living processes involved in charting life's path.

The Platonic brain bridge hypothesis: human brain networks as an architectural prior for multimodal large language models

Multimodal large language models predict brain activity, but brain alignment has been a measurement, not a design tool. We propose the Platonic brain bridge hypothesis: omni models, multimodal large language models that process video, audio and text jointly, converge on brain-like representations usable in both directions. From model to brain, brain-likeness of seven omni models is stable across participants, rises with every input channel in three bases, and our encoders lead the Algonauts 2025 out-of-distribution leaderboard. From brain to model, Brain-MoE fixes the expert partition of a frozen base to the seven networks of human cortex, trains experts on network-labelled Brain-AVQA questions, raises held-out accuracy in all 15 model-benchmark pairs by 6.42 percentage points on average and exceeds capacity-matched random experts in 14. Brain-Scope localizes the correspondence to sparse features whose removal weakens brain prediction. Human brain organization is therefore a usable architectural prior for multimodal large language models.

When Teachers Smile or Frown: A Profile-Based Analysis of Achievement Emotions

Achievement emotions shape how students engage with and learn from academic tasks, yet most studies examine individual emotions rather than co-occurring affective profiles and their dynamics. We examined latent achievement-emotion profiles and their transitions following exposure to different instructor facial expressions during a video lecture. Self-reported data from 78 Grade VII and VIII students revealed three profiles: enthusiastic, demotivated, and vulnerable. Profile transitions differed across instructor conditions, with happy expressions favouring more adaptive transitions and angry expressions favouring transitions toward demotivation. Exploratory factor analysis and Bayesian structural modelling further identified preparedness and cognitive restraint as regulatory dimensions associated with profile switching.

Nonlinear dynamics of random neural networks with second-order synaptic motifs

Classical theories of random neural networks typically assume independent connectivity, overlooking the local motif structures prevalent in biological circuits. Here, we investigate how four second-order synaptic motifs (chain, reciprocal, convergent, and divergent) shape the dynamics of nonlinear firing-rate networks. While previous studies have established that chain correlations generate outlier eigenvalues, we demonstrate that these motifs also jointly reshape the Jacobian eigenvalue bulk. Using the path-integral formalism, we derive a dynamic mean-field theory which reveals that the chain motif acts as a retarded feedback of the ensemble-mean activity through the response kernel, producing a rich repertoire of dynamical regimes, including ferromagnetic states and limit cycles. At sufficiently large magnitude, negative chain correlations produce a glassy, multistable regime that was previously mainly associated with partially symmetric networks. Our theory also distinguishes convergent from divergent motifs: divergent correlations primarily rescale temporal noise, while convergent correlations suppress temporal chaos by converting nonzero mean activity into quenched heterogeneity. Finally, analyses of the Lyapunov spectrum and participation-ratio dimension show that motif structure changes the geometry of chaotic activity, reducing entropy production and attractor dimensionality even when the effective spectral edge is held fixed. Together, these findings establish second-order motifs as a fundamental structural mechanism governing the dynamical regimes of local cortical circuits.
