Explainable Neuro-Symbolic Spiking Neural Networks for High-Precision Intracranial Tumor Diagnosis

Abstract

Intracranial tumor diagnosis requires exceptional precision due to the complex morphology of brain structures and the clinical risks associated with misclassification. While deep learning has improved the automation of MRI-based tumor analysis, black-box nature limits trust, interpretability, and clinical deployment. This paper introduces an explainable neuro-symbolic spiking neural network (NS-SNN) framework that integrates biologically inspired spike-based computation with symbolic reasoning mechanisms to achieve high-precision and fully interpretable intracranial tumor diagnosis. The approach leverages the temporal dynamics and energy efficiency of spiking neural networks while embedding medical knowledge graphs and rule-based logic to provide transparent diagnostic insights. By bridging data-driven neural representations with human-understandable symbolic rules, NS-SNNs offer enhancedexplainability,robustness, and alignment with radiological reasoning. This work demonstrates how neuro-symbolic integration improvesdecisiontraceability, supports causal interpretation, enables uncertainty analysis, and meets emerging clinical requirements for transparent AI in healthcare. Results indicate that NS-SNNs provide competitive diagnostic accuracy while generating interpretable reasoning pathways that can be reviewed and validated by clinicians, positioning them as a promising next-generation AI paradigm for safe and precise brain tumour diagnosis.
