- Named in the paper
- “ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM)” 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
“Densely packed VPM neurons were retrogradely labeled from S1, consistent with a strong rating.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
