Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: The mediodorsal thalamus was one of the areas where inputs to D2 MSNs clustered.

Named in the paper: “mediodorsal thalamic nucleus” and “D2 MSNs in the dorsal striatum”
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
“The discussion says D1 and D2 MSN inputs clustered in the mediodorsal thalamus, among other areas.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
