Corticofugal VIP Gabaergic Projection Neurons in the Mouse Auditory and Motor Cortex
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
DOI 10.3389/fncir.2021.714780 · PubMed 34366798 · PMC8343102, Fig. 4A–CLicence: CC-BY-4.0
- Named in the paper
- “VIP-expressing neurons of the right auditory cortex” and “superior colliculus”
- 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) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“The paper specifically reports the superior colliculus, but the claim's object is mapped to the whole midbrain rather than the superior colliculus term.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
