Abstract
Mast cells degranulate when exposed to specific antigens (via surface bound IgE), resulting in the release of numerous pro-inflammatory mediators. Neuroregulatory substances also activate mast cells, and may effect differential mediator release, without degranulation, suggesting a role for nerves in modulating mast cell activity. We previously investigated the microanatomical relationships of intestinal mucosal mast cells (IMMC) with nerves and found extensive associations in the intestinal mucosae of rats and humans. The origins of nerves that contact IMMC have not been determined; however, recent morphological and functional studies suggest the possibility that the vagus nerve might be involved. In the current study we show that vagal afferent fibers (labeled by injecting DiI into the nodose ganglion) penetrate to the tips of jejunal villi; and that some of these nerves make intimate contact with IMMC. These data provide the microanatomical basis for direct neural communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and mast cells in the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
