Named in the paper
“cNTS” and “ventral motor nucleus (VM)”
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) agrees, 2026-10-09

“VM terminals are reported in both groups; the paper's abbreviation VM matches the ventromedial thalamic nucleus despite its 'ventral motor' wording.”
