Inferring Active Neural Circuits Using Diffusion Scores

arXiv:2605.02852v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In biological systems, neural circuits compute through directed, short-latency interactions whose effects unfold across multiple time scales and behavioral contexts. We address the problem of inferring these local, lag-specific interactions from sampled neural population activity under varying stimuli, without assuming a parametric form for the underlying dynamics. Our approach leverages denoising score models by estimating joint-window scores over...
