NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract) projects to PB (Parabrachial nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species

Result
present
Method
anterograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Strength
strong
Evidence
Cre-dependent AAV-mCherry in VNS-TRAPped cNTS neurons labeled axon terminals bilaterally in the parabrachial nucleus. The lateral parabrachial nucleus was the most densely labeled hindbrain target, and the medial and externolateral parts had weaker labeling. Density was similar after cVNS and aVNS.

Named in the paper
“cNTS” and “lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“LPB was the densest bilateral hindbrain target, other PB parts were weaker, and density did not differ between groups (Fig. 7G).”
