构建整合脑-体-环境闭环的神经控制模型,揭示行为背后的机制原理。
Integrative neurocybernetic modeling in the era of large-scale neuroscience

- 用非线性状态空间与元动力学扩展建模脑-体-环境闭环系统。
- 融合多源数据实现少样本泛化与机制洞察,提升对行为动态的理解。
- 适合关注神经动力学建模、跨尺度整合与行为控制机制的研究者。
大规模神经科学在不同动物、脑区和行为情境下生成丰富数据,但建模仍局限于孤立实验。我们主张需发展可理解的神经控制模型:能捕捉脑、身体与环境间的闭环耦合,将大脑视为追求潜在目标的控制器,体现跨尺度结构化变化,并适应异构数据集。此类模型将目标从单独预测神经记录转向推断支配神经与行为动态的组织原则。通过结合非线性状态空间模型与元动力学扩展,辅以可扩展推理、知识蒸馏、开放/闭合环混合训练及连接组引导架构,整合模型可融合记录、行为、扰动与解剖学的互补约束,实现统计增强、少样本泛化,并揭示共享动力学结构、个体差异及行为控制目标。该范式为从碎片化数据走向行为产生机制的科学提供模型驱动路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large-scale neuroscience is generating rich datasets across animals, brain areas and behavioral contexts, yet our modeling efforts remains fragmented across isolated experiments. We argue that understanding behavior requires integrative neurocybernetic models: understandable dynamical models that capture the closed-loop coupling of brain, body and environment, treat the brain as a controller pursuing latent objectives, represent structured variation across scales, and scale to heterogeneous datasets. Such models shift the goal from predicting neural recordings in isolation to inferring the organizing principles that govern neural and behavioral dynamics. We outline a practical route toward this goal by combining nonlinear state-space models and meta-dynamical extensions with scalable inference, knowledge distillation, mixed open- and closed-loop training, and connectomics-informed architectures. By pooling complementary constraints from recordings, behavior, perturbations and anatomy, integrative neurocybernetic models can provide statistical amplification, few-shot generalization, and mechanistic insight into shared dynamical structure, individual variation, and the control objectives that govern behavior. This agenda offers a model-centric path from fragmented data to a mechanistic science of how brains produce behavior.
