The claims behind it

clm-n92r4xwx9zpresentelectrical stimulationproposed

BL stimulation at 100 µA made a subset of LA SOM-tdTomato interneurons fire; these were the cells with the lowest spike thresholds.

DOI 10.1007/s00429-020-02051-4 · PubMed 32144495 · PMC7166205, Fig. 8a, b; Results, SOM- and PV-cre tomato section

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees. “The paper uses BL stimulation to antidromically recruit LA principal neurons, so it does not establish BL as the source of input to LA SOM+ cells.”

Only one of nine LA PV-tdTomato interneurons spiked in response to BL stimulation. At higher intensities the PV cells showed only small responses.

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees. “The 1/9 PV spiking reflects antidromic recruitment of LA recurrent circuitry in the paper's interpretation, not a BL projection to LA PV cells.”
