Named in the paper
“lateral preoptic area” and “NPY neurons in the NAc”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10

“The lateral preoptic area appears among the areas holding a smaller number of rabies-labelled inputs to NAc NPY neurons.”
