Abstract
The spontaneous recovery of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions after stroke is thought to be mediated primarily through the reorganization and rewiring of surviving brain circuits. Given that dendritic spine turnover underlies rewiring during normal development and plasticity, this process is likely to play a key role in mediating functional changes that occur during and after stroke. Recently, a new approach has been taken using two-photon microscopy to monitor, in real time, the temporal and spatial progression of dendritic plasticity in the living animal, both while it is experiencing the initial ischemic episode as well as during long-term recovery from stroke damage. Here, we highlight recent evidence showing that stroke can trigger extensive changes in the relatively hardwired adult brain. For example, when dendrites are challenged by acute ischemia, they can disintegrate within minutes of ischemia and rapidly reassemble during reperfusion. Over longer time scales, dendrites in the surviving peri-infarct zone show heightened levels of spine turnover for many weeks after stroke, thereby raising the possibility that future stroke therapies may be able to facilitate or optimize dendritic rewiring to improve functional recovery.

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 it
