Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ventromedial shell of the NAc serves as an interface between limbic and motor circuits, translating emotions into actions.

    “Of particular relevance to reward-based processes is the ventromedial shell of the NAc (the core region regulates cognition and motor control) [63], that serves as an interface between limbic and motor circuits, translating emotions into actions [64].”

    From Reward circuitry dysfunction in psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders and genetic syndromes: animal models and clinical findings (2012) · cites this paper as [64]

  • This circuitry is consistent with the notion of limbic/motor interaction and the motivation-to-action concept, in that emotional information elaborated by the ventral striatum influences cognition-guided movements.

    “This circuitry is consistent with the notion of the limbic/motor interaction held by Nauta and his colleagues (Nauta and Domesick, 1978; Nauta et al., 1978) and the motivation-to-action concept of Mogenson and his colleagues (Mogenson et al., 1980), in that emotional information elaborated by the ventral striatum influences cognition-guided movements.”

    From Dopamine reward circuitry: Two projection systems from the ventral midbrain to the nucleus accumbens–olfactory tubercle complex (2007) · cites this paper as Mogenson et al., 1980

  • Following the interpretation of an ambiguous event, additional circuits including the PFC and nuclei at the intersection of the limbic system and motor effectors evaluate whether the external events reflect expectations and whether they meet or contradict the animal's needs in order to engage the appropriate behavioral response.

    “Following the interpretation of an ambiguous event, additional circuits including the PFC and nuclei at the intersection of the limbic system and motor effectors140 must evaluate whether the external events reflect expectations and whether they meet or contradict the animal’s needs in order to engage the appropriate behavioral response.”

    From Resolving the neural circuits of anxiety (2015) · cites this paper as [140]

  • Action is taken as a result of increased activity in the basal ganglia, which serve as the limbic-motor interface and facilitate the initiation of motor responses following upstream processing in the interpretation system.

    “This action is taken as a result of increased activity in the basal ganglia, which serve as the limbic-motor interface140 and facilitate the initiation of motor responses following upstream processing in the interpretation system.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
