- Evidence
- CTB injected into the nucleus accumbens retrogradely labelled a dense population of infralimbic neurons (58.4% of all labelled PFC cells were NAc-labelled), largely separate from the BLA-projecting population; retrobeads in the NAc similarly identified IL projection neurons for recording.

- Named in the paper
- “IL” and “NAc”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“NAc CTB injections densely labelled IL neurons (58.4% of counted cells), consistent with paper's results.”

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