- Named in the paper
- “orbital frontal cortex” and “D2R-expressing PVT neurons”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Orbital frontal cortex is listed among the regions reciprocally innervating D2R PVT neurons in the rabies tracing, and the text says Fig. 5 shows orbital input.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
