Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract It has become generally accepted that presynaptic high voltage–activated N‐type calcium channels located in the spinal dorsal horn are a validated clinical target for therapeutic interventions associated with severe intractable pain. Low voltage–activated (T‐type) calcium channels play a number of critical roles in nervous system function, including controlling thalamocortical bursting behaviours and the generation of spike wave discharges associated with slow wave sleep patterns. There is a growing body of evidence that T‐type calcium channels also contribute in several ways to both acute and neuropathic nociceptive behaviours. In the one instance, the Cav3.1 T‐type channel isoform likely contributes an anti‐nociceptive function in thalamocortical central signalling, possibly through the activation of inhibitory nRT neurons. In another instance, the Cav3.2 T‐type calcium channel subtype acts at the level of primary afferents in a strongly pro‐nociceptive manner in both acute and neuropathic models. While a number of classes of existing clinical agents non‐selectively block T‐type calcium channels, there are no subtype‐specific drugs yet available. The development of agents selectively targeting peripheral Cav3.2 T‐type calcium channels may represent an attractive new avenue for therapeutic intervention. Drug Dev.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
