Neuropsychologic and neuropsychiatric characteristics of patients withFriedreich's ataxia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVES AND MATERIALS AND METHODS: Due to recent evidence of frontal-lobe related dysfunctions in patients with cerebellar atrophy, patients with Friedreich's ataxia were compared to normal subjects controlled for age, gender, and educational level on tests measuring information processing speed, visuospatial organization, selective attention, executive functions, and mood. RESULTS: Patients with Friedreich's ataxia had slowed information speed, as indicated by lengthened simple visual reaction time and increased color-word interference in the Stroop task. However, the patient group was not impaired in several tests sensitive to neocortical and particularly prefrontal cortex lesions, including an untimed version of block design, verbal fluency, Wisconsin card sorting, Tower of Hanoi, and picture arrangement. Despite serious sensorimotor dysfunctions, the patient group did not differ from controls in terms of mood, as evaluated by the Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90) and the Hamilton depression scale. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the slowed information processing speed of patients with Friedreich's ataxia is not accompanied by major prefrontal cortex and mood disorders.

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.
