Summary
Neuronal proteins from the brain drain to the dura, skull, and nose, whereas injected CSF-tracer accumulates in neck lymph nodes. The study highlights that the act of injection may perturb the system under investigation.

Neuronal proteins originating in the brain drained to the dura, skull, and nose, while injected CSF-tracer gathered in the neck’s lymph nodes. Like Schrödinger’s cat, the act of injection itself may perturb the system being studied. https://t.co/jK5uSW3Mm1

Brain Score Tracks Shared Properties of Languages: Evidence from Many Natural Languages and Structured Sequences
This paper investigates whether Brain Score, a metric comparing language model representations to human fMRI activations during reading, is truly capturing human-like language processing or merely structural similarity. The researchers train language models on diverse natural languages and non-linguistic structured data (genome, Python, nested parentheses), finding that models trained on different languages and even non-linguistic sequences achieve similar Brain Score performance, suggesting the metric may not be sensitive enough to distinguish human-specific processing.
Most injection detectors score each prompt in isolation. I built one that tracks the geometric trajectory of the full session. Here is a concrete result.
A developer built Arc Gate, a monitoring proxy for LLMs that uses Fisher information manifold geometry to detect session-level prompt injection attacks, identifying Crescendo-style gradual manipulation by tracking t-values against a phase transition threshold t* = 1.2247 rather than per-turn phrase detection.

Researchers are using disembodied human brains for drug testing, raising both scientific promise and ethical questions.
A case study of evaluating AI agents on a neuroscience data-to-discovery pipeline
This paper presents an empirical study evaluating general-purpose coding agents on a fly optogenetics data-to-discovery pipeline, finding that while agents can automate individual stages, they struggle with end-to-end tasks requiring scientific judgment and resource management.
