Named in the paper
“central nucleus of amygdala (CeA)” and “medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“mOFC Fos elevated ~175% over eYFP in CeA ChR2 shock-rod rats, with significant pairwise test.”
