- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign

- Named in the paper
- “COAplEsr1 neurons” and “VMH”
- 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
“Monosynaptic glutamatergic EPSCs were seen in 4 of 7 VMH cells, which matches 0.571.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
