Antisaccades: A Probe Into The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Alzheimer's Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The number of people living with Alzheimerâs Disease (AD) is projected to\nincrease dramatically over the next few decades, making the search for treatments and\ntools to measure the progression of AD increasingly urgent. The antisaccade task, a\nhands- and language-free metric, may provide a functional index of the Dorsolateral\nPrefrontal Cortex (DLPFC), which is damaged in the later stages of AD. Patients with\nAD make significantly more antisaccade errors than controls, however, performance in\nmild AD has remained unexplored. We hypothesized that mild patients will make more\nerrors than controls. Thirty AD patients and 31 age-match controls completed both\nlaptop-based and clinical versions of the antisaccade task. Two thirds of patients with AD\nmade significantly more errors and corrected less of their errors than age-matched\ncontrols. Our findings indicate that antisaccade impairments exist in mild AD, suggesting\nDLPFC pathology may be present earlier than suggested by previous studies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
