- “VTA” and “BF cholinergic neurons (BFCS)”
- 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
“VTA is listed with DRN and LDT as sending dense projections to the BFCS.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
