<i>In vivo</i> parcellation of the human spinal cord functional architecture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The spinal cord is a critical component of the central nervous system, transmitting and integrating signals between the brain and the periphery via topographically organized functional levels. Despite its central role in sensorimotor processes and several neuromotor disorders, mapping the functional organization of the spinal cord in vivo in humans has been a long-standing challenge. Here, we test the efficacy of two data-driven connectivity approaches to produce a reliable and temporally stable functional parcellation of the cervical spinal cord through resting-state networks in two different functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets. Our results demonstrate robust and replicable patterns across methods and datasets, effectively capturing the spinal functional levels. Furthermore, we present the first evidence of spinal resting-state networks organized in functional levels in individual participants, unveiling personalized maps of the spinal functional organization. These findings underscore the potential of non-invasive, data-driven approaches to reliably outline the spinal cord’s functional architecture. The implications are far-reaching, from spinal cord fMRI processing to personalized investigations of healthy and impaired spinal cord function.

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.
