Angiogenesis in the mature mouse cortex is governed in a regional- and Notch1-dependent manner
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cerebral angiogenesis is well appreciated in development and after injury, but the extent to which it occurs across cortical regions in normal adult mice and the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using in vivo imaging, we show that angiogenesis in anterior-medial cortical regions (retrosplenial and sensorimotor cortex) was exceptionally rare. By contrast, angiogenesis was significantly elevated in posterior-lateral regions such as visual cortex, primarily within 200 μm of the cortical surface. There was no effect of sex on angiogenesis rates, nor were there regional differences in vessel pruning (for either sex). To understand the mechanisms, we surveyed gene expression and found that Notch-related genes were enriched in ultra-stable retrosplenial cortex. Using endothelial-specific knockdown of Notch1, cerebral angiogenesis was significantly increased along with genes implicated in angiogenesis (Apln, Angpt2, Cdkn1a). Our study shows that angiogenesis is regionally dependent and that manipulations of Notch1 could unlock the angiogenic potential of the mature vasculature.

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.
