Bakhtiniana: Revista de Estudos do Discurso
It is hard to react other than positively to a publication, presented in Portuguese, conceived with the idea of introducing Bakhtin as re-invented in the Anglo-Saxon world to a Brazilian audience. Two Brazilian editors from Rio de Janeiro have put together a (sometimes) surprising mix containing some of the best-known English-writing critics working in the field of Bakhtin Studies (Michael Holquist, Ken Hirschkop, David Shepherd, Caryl Emerson) and several other relatively unknown ones. Such a

Dendritic cortical microcircuits approximate the backpropagation algorithm
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Deep learning has seen remarkable developments over the last years, many of them inspired by neuroscience. However, the main learning mechanism behind these advances - error backpropagation - appears to be at odds with neurobiology. Here, we introduce a multilayer neuronal network model with simplified dendritic compartments in which error-driven synaptic plasticity adapts the network towards a global desired output. In contrast to previous work our model does not require separate phases and

... aptic learning is driven by local dendritic prediction errors continuously in time. Such errors originate at apical dendrites and occur due to a mismatch between predictive input from lateral interneurons and activity from actual top-down feedback. Through the use of simple dendritic compartments and different cell-types our model can represent both error and normal activity within a pyramidal neuron. We demonstrate the learning capabilities of the model in regression and classification tasks, and show analytically that it approximates the error backpropagation algorithm. Moreover, our framework is consistent with recent observations of learning between brain areas and the architecture of cortical microcircuits. Overall, we introduce a novel view of learning on dendritic cortical circuits and on how the brain may solve the long-standing synaptic credit assignment problem.
Learning Bayes-optimal dendritic opinion pooling
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Pooling different opinions and weighting them according to their reliability is conducive to making good decisions. We demonstrate that single cortical neurons, through the biophysics of conductance-based coupling, perform such complex probabilistic computations via their natural dynamics. While the effective computation can be described as a feedforward process, the implementation critically relies on the bidirectional current flow along the dendritic tree. We suggest that dendritic membrane

... tentials and conductances encode opinions and their associated reliabilities, on which the soma acts as a decision maker. Furthermore, we derive gradient-based plasticity rules, allowing neurons to learn to represent desired target distributions and to weight afferents according to their reliability. Our theory shows how neurons perform Bayes-optimal cue integration. It also explains various experimental findings, both on the system and on the single-cell level, and makes new, testable predictions for intracortical neuron and synapse dynamics.

Conductance-based dendrites perform reliability-weighted opinion pooling

2020
arXiv
pre-print
Cue integration, the combination of different sources of information to reduce uncertainty, is a fundamental computational principle of brain function. Starting from a normative model we show that the dynamics of multi-compartment neurons with conductance-based dendrites naturally implement the required probabilistic computations. The associated error-driven plasticity rule allows neurons to learn the relative reliability of different pathways from data samples, approximating Bayes-optimal

Dendritic error backpropagation in deep cortical microcircuits
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
Animal behaviour depends on learning to associate sensory stimuli with the desired motor command. Understanding how the brain orchestrates the necessary synaptic modifications across different brain areas has remained a longstanding puzzle. Here, we introduce a multi-area neuronal network model in which synaptic plasticity continuously adapts the network towards a global desired output. In this model synaptic learning is driven by a local dendritic prediction error that arises from a failure to

... predict the top-down input given the bottom-up activities. Such errors occur at apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons where both long-range excitatory feedback and local inhibitory predictions are integrated. When local inhibition fails to match excitatory feedback an error occurs which triggers plasticity at bottom-up synapses at basal dendrites of the same pyramidal neurons. We demonstrate the learning capabilities of the model in a number of tasks and show that it approximates the classical error backpropagation algorithm. Finally, complementing this cortical circuit with a disinhibitory mechanism enables attention-like stimulus denoising and generation. Our framework makes several experimental predictions on the function of dendritic integration and cortical microcircuits, is consistent with recent observations of cross-area learning, and suggests a biological implementation of deep learning.

Ghost Units Yield Biologically Plausible Backprop in Deep Neural Networks
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
In the past few years, deep learning has transformed artificial intelligence research and led to impressive performance in various difficult tasks. However, it is still unclear how the brain can perform credit assignment across many areas as efficiently as backpropagation does in deep neural networks. In this paper, we introduce a model that relies on a new role for a neuronal inhibitory machinery, referred to as ghost units. By cancelling the feedback coming from the upper layer when no target

... signal is provided to the top layer, the ghost units enables the network to backpropagate errors and do efficient credit assignment in deep structures. While considering one-compartment neurons and requiring very few biological assumptions, it is able to approximate the error gradient and achieve good performance on classification tasks. Error backpropagation occurs through the recurrent dynamics of the network and thanks to biologically plausible local learning rules. In particular, it does not require separate feedforward and feedback circuits. Different mechanisms for cancelling the feedback were studied, ranging from complete duplication of the connectivity by long term processes to online replication of the feedback activity. This reduced system combines the essential elements to have a working biologically abstracted analogue of backpropagation with a simple formulation and proofs of the associated results. Therefore, this model is a step towards understanding how learning and memory are implemented in cortical multilayer structures, but it also raises interesting perspectives for neuromorphic hardware.
