The Connections of the Dorsomedial Nuclei
Abstract
The connections of the mediodorsal nucleus were compared in rats, cats and monkeys. The medial portion receives from the olfactory cortex in rats, amygdala in cats, and amygdala and inferior temporal cortex in monkeys. In turn, the medial portion projects to sulcal cortex dorsal to the rhinal fissure in rats, and to orbitofrontal cortex in monkeys. The paralamellar portion of the mediodorsal nucleus receives from the cerebellum, superior colliculus and spinal cord and projects to the medial frontal area in rats and area 8 in monkeys. The lateral portion of the mediodorsal nucleus, well developed in monkeys, receives no known projections from subcortical regions and projects to the convexity of the frontal lobe.

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.
