Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is a great deal of evidence that cytoskeletal proteins, in particular microtubules, are dysfunctional in mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and affective disorder. Since cytoskeletal proteins are major arbitrators of neuroplasticity, this evidence fits with recent theories suggesting that neuroplasticity is compromised in mental illness and that the efficacy of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs may depend, at least in part, on their ability to enhance neuroplasticity. Quantum theories of mind, particularly those implementing information processing in microtubules, are useful on many levels. Quantum theories attempt to explain the more enigmatic features of mind, some of which are disrupted in mental illness. Quantum information processing theories also attempt to link molecular events at the atomic level to higher cognition. These approaches are highly ambitious, and multiple potential obstacles abound as a consequence of working in largely uncharted territory.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
