Frozen Rate Operator from Complete Connectome Analysis

Context

Analysis of the complete larval connectome reveals that degree and weight govern gross neural responses, while exact wiring governs input routing and mushroom-body modes.

Key Findings (arXiv:2606.17745)

• Degree-weight governance: Gross neural responses determined by connection degree and weight
• Exact wiring role: Input routing and mushroom-body modes governed by precise connectivity
• Calyx decorrelation: Threshold-driven process independent from mushroom body routing
• Routing confinement: Set upstream of and independent from the mushroom body

Analysis Methodology

1. Extract complete connectome adjacency matrix
2. Compute frozen rate operator from connectivity
3. Separate degree-weight effects from wiring-specific effects
4. Analyze input routing patterns
5. Identify mushroom-body modes

Applications

• Connectome analysis
• Neural circuit function prediction
• Mushroom body modeling
• Sensory processing analysis

Pitfalls

• Confounding: Degree-weight effects can mask wiring-specific patterns
• Scale: Complete connectomes require efficient matrix operations
• Threshold effects: Calyx decorrelation is threshold-driven, not linear
