ACA (Anterior cingulate area) synapses onto VENT (Ventral group of the dorsal thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Anterograde trans-monosynaptic AAV from rACC heavily labelled VAL/VM neurons in young mice, the major output target (over 40% of output cells in most groups), with significant reduction in middle-aged mice.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.1808
Source: Afferent and efferent projections of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex in young and middle-aged mice

Named in the paper: “rACC” and “VAL/VM”
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 18.08% figure is the middle-aged male share, not the value for the strong connection described, where VAL/VM exceeded 40%.”
