3D reconstruction of ultra-high resolution neurotransmitter receptor atlases in human and non-human primate brains
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Quantitative maps of neurotransmitter receptor densities are important tools for characterising the molecular organisation of the brain and key for understanding normal and pathologic brain function and behaviour. We describe a novel method for reconstructing 3-dimensional cortical maps for data sets consisting of multiple different types of 2-dimensional post-mortem histological sections, including autoradiographs acquired with different ligands, cell body and myelin stained sections, and which can be applied to data originating from different species. The accuracy of the reconstruction was quantified by calculating the Dice score between the reconstructed volumes versus their reference anatomic volume. The average Dice score was 0.91. We were therefore able to create atlases with multiple accurately reconstructed receptor maps for human and macaque brains as a proof-of-principle. Future application of our pipeline will allow for the creation of the first ever set of ultra-high resolution 3D atlases composed of 20 different maps of neurotransmitter binding sites in 3 complete human brains and in 4 hemispheres of 3 different macaque brains.

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.
