PPN (Pedunculopontine nucleus) synapses onto PB (Parabrachial nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
ambiguous
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Pedunculopontine tegmental neurons were rarely labelled with the rabies system after PB injections, a negative result the authors ascribe to limited rabies uptake and transfer rather than to lack of connectivity.
Source
Named in the paper
“PPTg” and “PB neurons that project to the amygdala”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

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

“Text states PPTg was rarely labelled with rabies and ascribes this to a vector limitation.”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
