Plasticity of the enteric nervous system during intestinal inflammation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inflammation of the bowel causes structural and functional changes to the enteric nervous system (ENS). While morphological alterations to the ENS are evident in some inflammatory conditions, it appears that relatively subtle modifications to the neurophysiology of enteric microcircuits may play a role in gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. These include changes to the excitability and synaptic properties of enteric neurones. The response of the ENS to inflammation varies according to the site and type of inflammation, with the functional consequences depending on the nature of the inflammatory stimulus. It has become clear that inflammation at one site can produce changes that occur at remotes sites in the GI tract. Immunohistochemical data from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and animal models indicate that inflammation alters the neurochemical content of some functional classes of enteric neurones. A growing body of evidence supports an active role for enteric glia in neuronal and neuroimmune communication in the GI tract, particularly during inflammation. In conclusion, plasticity of the ENS is a feature of intestinal inflammation. Elucidation of the mechanisms whereby inflammation alters enteric neural control of GI functions may lead to novel treatments for IBD.

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.
