Cognitive neuroscience aims to develop computational models that can accurately predict and explain neural responses to sensory inputs in the cortex. Recent studies attempt to leverage the representation power of deep neural networks(DNNs) to predict the brain response and suggest a correspondence between artificial and biological neural networks in their feature representations. However, typical voxel-wise encoding models tend to rely on specific networks designed for computer vision tasks, leading to suboptimal brain-wide correspondence during cognitive tasks. To address this challenge, this work proposes a novel approach that upgrades voxel-wise encoding models through multi-level integration of features from DNNs and information from brain networks. Our approach combines DNN feature-level ensemble learning and brain atlas-level model integration, resulting in significant improvements in predicting whole-brain neural activity during naturalistic video perception. Furthermore, this multi-level integration framework enables a deeper understanding of the brain's neural representation mechanism, accurately predicting the neural response to complex visual concepts. We demonstrate that neural encoding models can be optimized by leveraging a framework that integrates both data-driven approaches and theoretical insights into the functional structure of the cortical networks.

Disulfide(DSF) has been proved good anti-tumor effect and even better with coadministration of Cu^(2+). In this work, we report the use of hyaluronic acid(HA) based materials to construct vectors for the delivery of both DSF and Cu^(2+). HA was firstly modified with polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether(mPEG) and polycaprolactone(PCL) to synthesize an amphiphilic polymer(HA-PEG-PCL). DSF could be loaded in the hydrophobic core and Cu^(2+) could be cooperated to the negative hydrophilic segment. The Cu^(2+) also played a role as crosslinking agent, which prevented DSF leakage prematurely, avoiding the bad side effects to normal tissues. The interaction between HA and CD44 improved the distribution of nanodrugs in tumor cells. When the nanodrugs were delivered to the cancer cell, the acidic micro-environment would separate the Cu^(2+) from the surface, leading to the disintegration of the micelles, promoting the release of DSF from the micelle core. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the DSF and Cu^(2+) co-delivery vector constructed in this work could enhance the antitumor effect and have low biological toxicity.
