present
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign

Named in the paper
“ventromedial thalamic nucleus (VM)” and “D2-MSNs in the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS)”
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) agrees, 2026-10-10

“VM gives a significantly higher proportion of input to D2-MSNs (p<0.05).”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
