BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) synapses onto PALv (Pallidum, ventral region)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: The BNST contained a smaller fraction of the monosynaptic input cells labelled from VP cholinergic starter neurons.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.0925 (SEM 0.0236), n = 6
Source: Most Ventral Pallidal Cholinergic Neurons Are Bursting Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Neurons with Mesocorticolimbic Connectivity

Named in the paper: “bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST)” and “VPCNs”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Fig. 2D gives BNST as 9.25 ± 2.36% of rabies input cells across 6 mice, which matches the fraction given.”
