Despite being well reported patterns, they are normally regarded as independent phenomena whose specific traits have never been properly quantified. Evidence, however, favours the hypothesis that these are interdependent patterns, arising from self-organized interactions and movement among workers. After all, termites are a form of active matter where blind cooperative individuals are self-propelled and lack the possibility of visual cues to spatially orientate and align. It follows that their non-trivial close-contact patterns could generate motion-collision-induced phase separations. This would then trigger the emergence of these three patterns (disorder, clustering, milling) as parts of the same continuum. By inspecting termite groups confined in arenas, we could quantitatively describe each one of these patterns in detail. We identified disorder, clustering and milling spatial patterns.

Dynamic causal modelling (DCM) presents a statistical framework that embraces causal relationships among brain regions and their responses to experimental manipulations, such as stimulation. In this study, we perform Bayesian inference on a neurobiologically plausible generative model that simulates event-related potentials observed in magneto/encephalography data. This translates into probabilistic inference of latent and observed states of a system driven by input stimuli, described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and potentially correlated parameters. We provide a guideline for reliable inference in the presence of multimodality, which arises from parameter degeneracy, ultimately enhancing the predictive accuracy of neural dynamics. Solutions include optimizing the hyperparameters, leveraging initialization with prior information and employing weighted stacking based on predictive accuracy. Moreover, we implement the inference and conduct comprehensive model comparison in several probabilistic programming languages to streamline the process and benchmark their efficiency. Our investigation shows that model inversion in DCM extends beyond variational approximation frameworks, demonstrating the effectiveness of gradient-based Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. We illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of posterior estimation using a self-tuning variant of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and the automatic Laplace approximation, effectively addressing parameter degeneracy challenges. This technical endeavour holds the potential to advance the inversion of state-space ODE models, and contribute to neuroscience research and applications in neuroimaging through automatic DCM.</p>","PeriodicalId":17488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Royal Society Interface","volume":"22 227","pages":"20240880"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12133347/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We successfully validate the method using polyacrylamide hydrogels with correction for cantilever drag in the fluid. The AFMMR results reveal that isolated and live-cell nuclei are equivalent to within a scaling factor, in their frequency-dependent modulus, with isolated nuclei being softer. The loss tangent reveals a transition from solid- to liquid-like behaviour occurring at higher frequency in isolated than in live-cell nuclei. Viscoelastic modelling using the Jeffreys model describes the frequency-dependent modulus of all measured nuclei.

We assume that the heading of the walker can be reoriented to the preferred direction by paying a fixed cost as it tries to maximize its total displacement in a fixed direction. Using optimal control theory, we derive analytically and confirm numerically the strategy that maximizes the walker's speed, and show that the average time between reorientations scales inversely with the magnitude of the environmental noise. We then extend our framework to describe execution errors and sensory acquisition noise. As a result, we provide a range of testable predictions and suggest new experimental directions.

However, generating accurate estimates of these quantities, that make use of both epidemic time series and pathogen genome sequence data, is a challenging problem. Phylogenetic birth-death processes are a popular choice for modelling the transmission of infectious diseases, but it is difficult to estimate the prevalence of infection with them. Here, we extended our approximate likelihood approach, which combines phylogenetic information from sampled pathogen genomes and epidemiological information from a time series of case counts, to estimate historical prevalence in addition to the effective reproduction number. We implement this new method in a BEAST2 package called Timtam. In a simulation study our approximation is seen to be well-calibrated and recovers the parameters of simulated data. To demonstrate how Timtam can be applied to real datasets, we carried out empirical analyses of data from two infectious disease outbreaks: the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 onboard the <i>Diamond Princess</i> cruise ship in early 2020 and poliomyelitis in Tajikistan in 2010.
