arXiv:2606. 11208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical findings often seem to conflict across studies, but many of these differences are context-dependent rather than true contradictions.
The study investigates whether language models tailored to specific cognitive domains better align with corresponding brain systems. By prompting and fine‑tuning large language models into six domain experts—sensory, spatial, numerical, reasoning, social, and abstract—the authors find that each expert’s representations more closely match the brain region associated with its domain than other experts. This domain‑specific alignment holds across multiple base models and fMRI datasets, while overall prediction accuracy remains largely unchanged, indicating that regional alignment can be obscured when summarizing across the brain.
arXiv:2608. 12717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability of large language models lacks spatially resolved, falsifiable tools for testing whether internal components are specialized for distinct cognitive operations.

arXiv:2608. 08159v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly reported to exhibit human-like neural and cognitive signatures, including concept cells, mental number lines, and cognitive maps.
The article presents a technical manual for an open toolkit designed to measure how transformer language models individuate word meanings across different contexts. It introduces the concept of a "bridge form"—a single word that appears unchanged in multiple domains but with distinct senses—and outlines a full pipeline from specifying these forms to extracting layer-wise representations, computing silhouette-based separation metrics, and visualizing results. The manual details each design choice and its intended methodological safeguards, emphasizing that it serves as a methodological reference rather than reporting empirical findings.
