Preference optimization has become an important post-training paradigm for improving the reasoning abilities of large language models. Existing methods typically rely on externally constructed preference data, using preferred and dispreferred responses as sample-level supervision. However, such external signals rarely make explicit use of capability-related information contained in the model's internal representations. For mathematical reasoning, certain neuron groups may exhibit activation patterns associated with mathematical knowledge, symbolic manipulation, or logical reasoning. Similar to reflexive behavioral signals, these internal activations may provide a coarse indication of whether the model is engaging math-related capabilities.We introduce YFPO, short for Yoked Feature Preference Optimization, a preliminary neuron-guided preference optimization framework for mathematical reasoning. YFPO first uses AttnLRP to identify math-related neurons, and then constructs an auxiliary reward from their activation margin between preferred and dispreferred responses. This design augments external preference learning with internal neuron-level signals. We conduct preliminary experiments on a small-scale language model using GSM8K as the main benchmark. Results suggest that neuron-level signals can interact with preference optimization and occasionally improve reasoning performance, offering a promising direction for more fine-grained and interpretable reasoning-oriented post-training.
