Named in the paper
“CeAGA neurons” and “nucleus accumbens (NAc)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“NAc is innervated ipsilaterally and, more sparsely, contralaterally, per Fig. 6 panels 2a-b.”
