- Evidence
- In Avpr1a-Cre::tdTomato::Avp-Flp::GFP mice, GFP-labelled AVP fibres from the MePD were concentrated at the MePD/medial CeA border, with only sparse fibres inside the CeA and no apparent close apposition to tdTomato-labelled AVPR1A CeA neurons, leading the authors to favour volume diffusion over a wired connection.

- Named in the paper
- “AVPMePD neurons” and “CeA”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Paper describes only sparse MePD AVP fibres in CeA without contact, favoring diffusion—ambiguous is apt.”

proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
