PL (Prelimbic area) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: EGFP-expressing anterograde AAV in the prefrontal cortex labelled axon terminals in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, indicating a direct prefrontal projection.

Named in the paper: “PFC” and “BNST”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Anterograde EGFP from PFC gave robust terminals in BNST, consistent with 'strong'.”
