- strong
- Evidence
- After AAV-CaMKII-EYFP injection into the dPAG, labelled axon terminals were seen mainly in the midline nuclei of the thalamus, which the authors describe as strong terminal expression.

- Named in the paper
- “dPAG” and “midline thalamic areas”
- 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) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Anterograde AAV from the dPAG gave strong terminal labeling, mainly in the midline thalamic nuclei, as reported in the text and Fig. 4D.”
