Human brain assembloids provide a tractable platform for studying mutation-specific network dysfunction, but most studies do not distinguish whether abnormal activity arises from increased spontaneous initiation or stronger history-dependent amplification. We introduce a low-dimensional discrete-time self-exciting population model for calcium-imaging event sequences that separates baseline initiation (%[mu]), integrated history-dependent gain (%[eta]), and memory decay (%[tau]). Across 175 recordings from 13 MAPT p.R406W or CRISPR-corrected isogenic assembloids, biological-unit inference identified a 4.31-fold increase in %[eta] in mutants (95% CI 3.20- 5.84; exact p=7.8x10-4), without increased baseline activity. Parametric predictive checks exposed residual Poisson overdispersion; fixed-decay and beta-binomial sensitivity analyses nevertheless preserved the mutant history effect. Median %[eta] separated all 13 held-out assembloids, while a multifeature recording-level RBF-SVM achieved AUC 0.816 under nested whole-assembloid holdout. These results identify robust history-dependent temporal amplification as a functional MAPT-mutant network phenotype.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
