Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons projects to NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: A small projection from CeL CRF neurons reached the nucleus of the solitary tract along much of its rostrocaudal axis, with fibers ending in the caudal ventrolateral NTS near noradrenergic somata.

“A small anterogradely labelled projection to NTS including caudal ventrolateral NTS is reported.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
