MD (Mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus) synapses onto PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies tracing from ChCs labelled presynaptic neurons in mediodorsal thalamus as a major long-range input.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.117 (SEM 0.007), n = 5
Source: Selective inhibitory control of pyramidal neuron ensembles and cortical subnetworks by chandelier cells

Named in the paper: “mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD)” and “PL L2 chandelier cells”
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
“MD supplied 11.7±0.7% of long-range inputs across n=5 mice.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
