Tau Imaging in the 4-Repeat-Tauopathies Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate tau PET using C-pyridinyl-butadienyl-benzothiazole 3 (C-PBB3) in the 4-repeat (4R)-tauopathies progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of C-PBB3 PET in 2, 7, and 2 patients with CBS, PSP, and Alzheimer dementia (AD), respectively. Normalized C-PBB3 uptake in clusters with significant hypometabolism on F-FDG-PET and corresponding atlas-based volumes of interest was compared between diagnostic groups. RESULTS: In accordance with visually appreciable group differences, C-PBB3 uptake was significantly higher in dorsolateral frontal and motor cortex in CBS patients and frontal and temporal cortices in AD patients as compared with PSP patients. Patients with PSP showed mildly but significantly higher uptake in midbrain compared with AD patients. CONCLUSIONS: In line with known neuropathological changes, the spatial pattern and magnitude of C-PBB3 tau binding differ between CBS, PSP, and AD, which may be of diagnostic utility. Thus, C-PBB3 offers a promising lead structure for development of ligands for tau imaging, including 4R-tauopathies.

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.
