- Named in the paper
- “insular cortex” and “NPY neurons in the NAc”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) is unsure, 2026-10-10
“The paper says only 'insular cortex', so mapping it to the agranular insular area specifically cannot be confirmed.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
