Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“the optic tectum networks, that provide common body-centered frames of reference for multisensory integration and for sensory-motor transformations”
From Spatial Cognition in Teleost Fish: Strategies and Mechanisms (2021) · cites this paper as [117]
In the citing paper
“Some of these systems are shared with other vertebrates and seem to correspond to an ancestral design well-conserved in the different vertebrate radiations.”
From Spatial Cognition in Teleost Fish: Strategies and Mechanisms (2021) · cites this paper as [117]
In the citing paper
“By virtue of its profuse connectivity with a variety of sensory and motor centers, and because of its characteristic intrinsic organization, the teleost optic tectum provides the basis for the multisensory integration and sensorimotor transformations required for a number of body-centered behaviors”
From Spatial Cognition in Teleost Fish: Strategies and Mechanisms (2021) · cites this paper as [117]
In the citing paper
“The intermediate and deep layers of the optic tectum also receive spatially ordered inputs from other sensory modalities, such as auditory, somatosensory, and lateral line information, in topographical correspondence with the superficial retinotopic visual map”
From Spatial Cognition in Teleost Fish: Strategies and Mechanisms (2021) · cites this paper as [117]

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.
