Cerebral perfusion imaging predicts levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinsonian rat model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients manifest complications related to treatment called levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Preventing the onset of LID is crucial to the management of PD, but the reasons why some patients develop LID are unclear. The ability to prognosticate predisposition to LID would be valuable for the investigation of mitigation strategies. Thirty rats received 6-hydroxydopamine to induce Parkinsonism-like behaviors before treatment with levodopa (2 mg/kg) daily for 22 days. Fourteen developed LID-like behaviors. Fluorodeoxyglucose PET, T2-weighted MRI and cerebral perfusion imaging were collected before treatment. Support vector machines were trained to classify prospective LID vs. non-LID animals from treatment-naïve baseline imaging. Volumetric perfusion imaging performed best overall with 86.16% area-under-curve, 86.67% accuracy, 92.86% sensitivity, and 81.25% specificity for classifying animals with LID vs. non-LID in leave-one-out cross-validation. We have demonstrated proof-of-concept for imaging-based classification of susceptibility to LID of a Parkinsonian rat model using perfusion-based imaging and a machine learning model.

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.
