- Named in the paper
- “somatosensory penis/clitoris cortex” and “S2-Genital (putative secondary somatosensory cortex)”
- 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
“Strong S2-genital label appears in all injections, with weak contralateral S2 label.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
