Abstract
Hal Blumenfeld, MD, PhD. Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, MA, 2002. ISBN 0-87893-060-4, $71.95. Scope: This is a neuroanatomy textbook written for medical students in their introductory neuroanatomy course and for students in their clerkship years on a neurology rotation. The book is divided into 12 chapters. The first 5 chapters deal with the general organization of the nervous system with 1 chapter devoted to neuroradiology. The other chapters describe distinct anatomical entities in the nervous system. Each chapter first describes the general anatomic organization of a specific system followed by clinical vignettes. One entire chapter is devoted to the visual system. It covers the localization of visual complaints and then optic neuritis, branch retinal artery occlusion, hemianopia, migrainous visual loss, and other main conditions. Strengths: This is an excellent textbook for medical students interested in neurology and for beginning neurology residents. It can also serve as a good reference book on clinical neuroanatomy for ophthalmology residents. Its main strength is the use of clinical cases and scenarios, which bring the study of neuroanatomy to life and make it a very practical learning guide for a subject that is often viewed by medical students as dry and irrelevant. Excellent descriptions of visual fields are given in several clinical cases. Three extensive chapters deal with the brainstem, including several cases of diplopia. Sufficient details are provided to make the cases a valuable learning exercise. The uniqueness of the book is its inclusion of a variety of clinical vignettes that are written in a problem-based format and that accompany a wide variety of basic neurological complaints encountered by general practitioners. All cases are very clearly written with illustrations accompanying some of them and sufficient references for more detailed learning. Each clinical case emphasizes a specific part of the neurologic examination. Weaknesses: The text is written in block format. A point format would be easier to digest in many chapters. Most anatomic figures are represented by schematic diagrams and drawings; in some cases photographs would be have been better. Recommended Audience: Medical students and residents in neurology and ophthalmology will find this book useful. Critical Appraisal: This is an excellent textbook for anyone teaching neuroanatomy, neurology, or ophthalmology to medical students. Its many clinical vignettes serve as an excellent resource for problem-based learning. Edward Margolin, MD Department of Ophthalmology University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario

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.
