- 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) disagrees, 2026-10-09
“The cited Extended Data Fig. 10a shows no labelled VMH cells at 48 h, so that locator does not support labelling.”
