Reciprocity coordinates a three-way trade-off in recurrent neural circuits
一项 arXiv 预印本研究在循环网络仿真中把互惠性 ρ 设为 21 个水平,同时固定网络规模、连接密度和有向边数量,考察互惠连接如何影响回路计算。结果显示低互惠网络产生更多样的刺激驱动活动,在四个连续输入任务上表现更好;高互惠网络在三个延迟记忆任务上表现更好,但在线记忆容量下降、扰动后恢复更快。
arXiv:2610.19949v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological neural circuits contain both unidirectional and reciprocal connections, but how reciprocity affects circuit computation remains unclear. We varied reciprocity \r{ho} across 21 levels in recurrent-network simulations while holding network size, connection density, and directed-edge count fixed. Low-reciprocity networks produced more diverse stimulus-driven activity and performed better on four continuous-input tasks, whereas higher reciprocity generally improved performance on three delayed-memory tasks. Increasing reciprocity reduced online memory capacity and accelerated recovery from perturbations. A post-cue noise experiment showed that higher reciprocity suppressed internal noise propagation but made cue-evoked states less distinguishable, and component matching separated the contributions of cue separation and within-cue dispersion to readout robustness. Within this ensemble, reciprocity thus mediates a three-way trade-off among representational capacity, local stability, and task-state separability: higher reciprocity lowers capacity, strengthens stability, and compresses separability. Whether it improves behaviour depends on whether the stability gain outweighs the lost separation between task states. Connectome and microcircuit datasets from five species showed intermediate reciprocity, while reciprocity varied substantially across adult Drosophila brain regions, providing compatible structural context and motivating circuit-specific functional tests.
