- Method
- anterograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- With a Cre-off AAV1-hsyn-FAS-GCaMP6f labelling D2R-negative PVT cells, their axons reached the nucleus accumbens and were concentrated in the core, overlapping partly with D2R-positive projections.

- “Cre-negative (D2R-negative) PVT neurons” and “NAc core”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Cre-off labelled D2R-negative PVT fibres were more concentrated in the NAc core and overlapped with D2R-positive fibres, per Fig. 4C,D.”
