Named in the paper: “mediodorsal (MD)” and “PVO”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The Thalamus section states PVO receives only light projections from lateral, medial and central MD.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
