- Evidence
- Pulsed 20-Hz light delivered to ChR2-expressing ILSCm CaMKIIa neurons activated a subset of ipsilateral LA units at short latency, both in anesthetized and in freely moving mice. Stimulating ILSCm axon terminals in the LP also evoked short-latency LA responses, consistent with a route relayed through the LP.

- Named in the paper
- “ILSCm” and “LA”
- 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 fractions 13/38, 11/40 and 13/61 and both latencies (13.3±6.6 ms and 9.9±6.0 ms, n=13 each) all match the paper's ILSCm-driven LA recordings.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
