- Named in the paper
- “pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg)” and “projection neurons of the parabrachial nucleus (PB)”
- 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
“Fig 4I lists PPTg among labelled inputs to amygdala-projecting PB neurons.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
