Abstract

How are the numbers of different cell types matched together during tissue development? The nervous system has provided an excellent model system for understanding this question as it contains two main classes of cell types, neurons and glia. Presynaptic neurons are believed to be precisely matched

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The proliferation of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes is responsive to trophic cues associated with neuronal activity.

    “The proliferation of both these glial cell types is responsive to trophic cues associated with neuronal activity (10–12).”

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

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.
