Function of human intrinsic cardiac neurons in situ
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We sought to determine the behavior of intrinsic cardiac neurons in human subjects undergoing cardiac surgery and to correlate their activity with hemodynamics status. A lead II electrocardiogram, pulmonary artery pressure, and systemic arterial pressure were recorded along with extracellular activity generated by right atrial neurons in 10 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Identified neurons generated spontaneously activity that was, for the most part, unrelated to the cardiac cycle. Most neurons were activated by gentle mechanical distortion of ventricular epicardial loci. The activity generated by neurons in each patient increased when arterial pressure increased and decreased when arterial pressure fell. Intrinsic cardiac neurons continued to generate activity during cardioplegia and cardiopulmonary bypass, but at reduced levels. Normal neuronal activity was restored postbypass. It is concluded that human intrinsic cardiac neurons generate spontaneous activity and that many receive inputs from ventricular mechanosensory neurites. The latter may account for the fact that their behavior depends, in part, on cardiac dynamics. They are also sensitive to intravenously administered pharmacological agents. These data also indicate that cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia do not induce residual depression of their function.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
