- Evidence
- In the same retrograde labelling from the auditory striatum, a small minority of the labelled midbrain dopamine neurons lay in the VTA.

- Named in the paper
- “ventral tegmental area (VTA)” and “auditory striatum”
- 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) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Same retrograde experiment showed a minor VTA population (5.6 ± 1.14%), correctly converted.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
