Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Strength
weak
Evidence
After Fluoro-Gold injection into S1, retrogradely labeled neurons were found in ipsilateral VPL, more scattered than in VPM.
Named in the paper
“ventral posterolateral thalamic nucleus (VPL)” and “primary somatosensory cortex (S1)”
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

“VPL neurons labeled from S1 are described as more scattered than VPM, which supports a weak rating.”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
