Integrating Mechanistic and Data-Driven Models for Neurological Disorders through Differentiable Programming
arXiv:2606.06094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in computational modeling, neuroimaging, and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the modeling of neurological disorders for improved diagnostics, prognosis, and treatment planning. Mechanistic models provide valuable scientific insight into the disorders, but in practice they are often simplified with assumptions or computationally expensive and slow to solve. However, while purely data driven approaches provide speed and scalability, they require large, high quality data to train and generally suffer from interpretability and
Advances in AI, neuroimaging, and computational modeling are converging, enabling more sophisticated approaches to understand complex neurological disorders.
This integration promises more accurate diagnostics, personalized prognoses, and refined treatment planning for neurological disorders, moving beyond traditional data-driven or purely mechanistic approaches.
The development of hybrid modeling strategies changes how complex biological systems can be analyzed, combining the interpretability of mechanistic models with the scalability and predictive power of AI.
