- Sign

- Evidence
- CTb injected into the LH retrogradely labelled ipsilateral NAc neurons, about 7% of them mCherry-labelled NPY neurons. In a second experiment, EnvA-pseudotyped rabies injected into the LH infected TVA-expressing NAc NPY neurons, labelling about 9.6% of the NPY neurons.

- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“The 7.19% is the share of mCherry NPY neurons that were CTb-positive, not the share of CTb-labelled neurons that were NPY, so the paraphrase reverses the ratio.”

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