Shared neural geometries for bilingual semantic representations in human hippocampal neurons

Xinyuan Yan, Ana G. Chavez, Melissa C. Franch, Kalman A. Katlowitz, Ivy Gautam, Brian Kim, Aaditya Krishna, Aadit Shrivastava, Katie Van Arsdel, James L. Belanger, Assia Chericoni, Taha Ismail, Elizabeth A. Mickiewicz, Danika Paulo, Hanlin Zhu, , Sameer Anil Sheth

The paper investigates how bilinguals represent semantic concepts in two languages, finding shared neural geometries that support translation despite language-specific neuron responses.

Polysemanticity in human hippocampal neurons

Xinyuan Yan, Li Ji-An, Melissa C. Franch, Hanlin Zhu, Rhiannon L Cowan, James L. Belanger, Ana G. L Chavez, Assia Chericoni, Taha Ismail, Kalman A. Katlowitz, Luca D. Kolibius, Elizabeth A. Mickiewicz, D Ferreira Paulo, Eleonora Bartoli, Jay A. Hennig, , Sameer Anil Sheth

This study shows that human hippocampal neurons use polysemantic coding, where neurons represent multiple unrelated semantic features through high-dimensional superposition, enabling efficient contextualization of meaning.
