MB (Midbrain) projects to LP (Lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTB-488 injected into LP retrogradely labelled SC neurons. Fewer labelled LP-projecting SC neurons were found in VPA mice than in saline mice.

Named in the paper: “superior colliculus (SC)” and “lateral posterior nucleus (LP)”
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 subject is coded as midbrain (MBA:313) rather than the superior colliculus the paper actually labelled, though the CTB evidence itself fits.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
