The mouse brain after foot-shock in 4D: temporal dynamics at a single-cell resolution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Acute stress leads to sequential activation of functional brain networks. The challenge is to get insight in whole brain activity at multiple scales, beyond the level of (networks of) nuclei. We developed a novel pre-processing and analytical pipeline to chart whole-brain immediate early genes’ expression – as proxy for cellular activity – after a single stressful foot-shock in 4 dimensions; that is, from functional networks up to 3D single-cell resolution, and over time. The pipeline is available as R-package. Most brain areas (96%) showed increased numbers of c-fos+ cells after foot-shock, yet hypothalamic areas stood out as being most active and prompt in their activation, followed by amygdalar, prefrontal, hippocampal and finally thalamic areas. At the cellular level, c-fos+ density clearly shifted over time across subareas, as illustrated for the basolateral amygdala. Moreover, some brain areas showed increased numbers of c-fos+ cells, while others dramatically increased c-fos intensity in just a subset of cells; this ‘strategy’ changed after foot-shock in half of the brain areas. All single-cell data can be visualized for each of the 90 brain areas examined through our interactive web-portal.

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.
