“It is important here to distinguish the afferents that bring the information to be relayed, called the drivers, from the other inputs, known as the modulators [1,2].”

“One suggestion [74] is that the pulvinar participates in cortical communication, with direct cortical connections between two areas supplemented by an indirect pathway coursing through the pulvinar or other higher-order thalamic nuclei (Fig.”

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.
