DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) projects to MO (Somatomotor areas)

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
single neuron reconstruction
Sign
unknown
Evidence
A reconstructed DRN axon entered the motor cortex and split into thin collaterals in all layers. In confocal analysis, 75% of 259 BDA-filled varicosities from 29 segments in motor cortex contained VGLUT3.

Named in the paper
“dorsal raphe nucleus” and “motor cortex”
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

“The Fig. 2B axon enters motor cortex and innervates all layers, and 193 of 259 varicosities across 29 segments there were VGLUT3-positive.”
