Abstract
Molecular neuroimaging is a powerful and emerging tool for the early detection and monitoring of central nervous system (CNS)-related and neurodegenerative diseases. Biomarkers play a crucial role in diagnostic accuracy, prognosis, and treatment efficacy. Among these, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), a cytoskeletal intermediate filament protein, serves as a key indicator of astrocytic activation and neuroaxonal injury. Elevated levels of GFAP in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood-based samples (serum/plasma) are increasingly recognized as potential biomarkers for neurodegeneration and CNS pathology. Advanced molecular imaging techniques, including Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), along with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide visual scoring, local morphometry, and volumetric analysis. Therefore, integrating GFAP with neuroimaging modalities offers the potential to improve disease characterization, allowing for accurate spatial mapping of neurodegeneration and monitoring of disease progression at a molecular level. The relationship between MRI and GFAP is currently under evaluation. This review explores the interplay between GFAP and molecular neuroimaging, highlighting their combined potential to enhance early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring of CNS disorders.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
