Named in the paper
“parafascicular nucleus (Pf)” and “D2-MSNs in the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS)”
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

“Pf supplies 2.97% of D2-MSN inputs and is listed as a major thalamic source.”

Status
