Named in the paper
“somatosensory cortex (SS)” and “amygdala (MeA-targeted injection site)”
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

“SS is named as a cortical region with significantly more amygdala input in males.”
