SNc (Substantia nigra, compact part) projects to MY (Medulla)

- absent
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Despite widespread rostral appearance of the medulla-derived human alpha-synuclein, no labelling was found in the substantia nigra pars compacta and dopaminergic cell numbers were unchanged; the authors attribute this to the lack of a direct anatomical link between the SNc and the medulla.

- Named in the paper
- “substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc)” and “medulla oblongata (MO)”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The paper reports no hα-syn labelling and unchanged dopaminergic counts in SNc and attributes this to lack of direct SNc–medulla connections.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
