Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are diverse with heterogeneous injury pathologies, which creates challenges for the clinical treatment and prevention of secondary pathologies such as post-traumatic epilepsy and subsequent dementias. To develop pharmacological strategies that treat TBI and prevent complications, animal models must capture the spectrum of TBI severity to better understand pathophysiological events that occur during and after injury. To address such issues, we improved upon our recent larval zebrafish TBI paradigm emphasizing titrating to different injury levels. We observed coordination between an increase in injury level and clinically relevant injury phenotypes including post-traumatic seizures (PTS) and tau aggregation. This preclinical TBI model is simple to implement, allows dosing of injury levels to model diverse pathologies, and can be scaled to medium- or high-throughput screening.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
