MD (Mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus) synapses onto CP (Caudoputamen)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Mediodorsal thalamus neurons were labeled as inputs to pDMS D2-MSNs. D2R-expressing MD neurons were enriched among them.
Measurements

DOI 10.1523/eneuro.0348-20.2020 · PubMed 33380525 · PMC7877463, Fig. 2, 5C
Named in the paper
“mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD)” and “D2-MSNs in the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS)”
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

“MD supplies 2.29% of D2-MSN inputs, and Fig. 5C shows D2→D2 enrichment in MD.”
