VTA (Ventral tegmental area) synapses onto NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- absent
- Method
- transsynaptic tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Despite projecting to the DVC, the VTA showed little or no Cre-dependent PRV-GFP labeling at 96 h, suggesting no direct or indirect input to cNTS PPG neurons.

- Named in the paper
- “VTA” and “cNTS PPG neurons”
- 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
“The VTA projects to the DVC by CTb but had little or no PRV-GFP at 96 h, which the authors read as no input to PPG neurons.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
