- Evidence
- Anterograde labelling of PVT D2R-expressing neurons gave patchy terminal fields in the nucleus accumbens, densest in the medial shell.

- Named in the paper
- “D2R-expressing PVT neurons (PVT)” and “NAc (nucleus accumbens, medial shell)”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Patchy NAc labelling that is densest in the medial shell is reported in Fig. 3D.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
