Dark-rearing promotes drastic improvement of visual acuity in the amblyopic eye of lid-sutured kittens
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This report extends findings (Duffy & Mitchell, 2013) of a dramatic recovery of\nvision in the deprived eye of amblyopic kittens following a short âdark-pulseâ (a 10 day\nperiod of darkness) to situations of clinical relevance. To this end, the initial deprivation\nbegan at post-natal day 7 rather than post-natal day 30. As before, the dark-pulse was\nimposed either immediately after the initial monocular deprivation, or was delayed\nseveral weeks after stable amblyopia was establsihed. In some animals, this dark-pulse\nwas shortened, or disrupted by short periods of daily binocular visual experience. The\neffects on the visual acuity and alignment acuity of the two eyes were documented as\nwell as the effects on binocular depth perception. The benefits of a short dark-pulse were\nidentical to those of the prior study. A dark-pulse of 5 days was ineffective as was a\ndark-pulse interrupted daily by light for 30-minutes.

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.
