- Named in the paper
- “IC-projecting VPMpc neurons” and “amygdalostriatal transition area (ASt)”
- 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
“Fig. 7c is described as showing a projection to the amygdalostriatal transition area; mapping it to the cerebral nuclei is broad but contains it.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
