HY (Hypothalamus) synapses onto PALv (Pallidum, ventral region)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: The preoptic area contributed a smaller share of rabies-labelled input neurons to VP cholinergic cells.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.1081 (SEM 0.0267), n = 6
Source: Most Ventral Pallidal Cholinergic Neurons Are Bursting Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Neurons with Mesocorticolimbic Connectivity

Named in the paper: “preoptic area (POA)” 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) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“The 10.81% figure is for the POA alone, so it cannot stand for the whole hypothalamus, which also contains the separately counted LH.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
