BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) synapses onto MRN (Midbrain reticular nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies tracing from Vglut2-expressing DpMe starter cells labelled almost no input neurons in the BNST, so the authors conclude BNST GABAergic neurons do not directly innervate glutamatergic DpMe cells.

“Tracing from Vglut2-positive DpMe starters found almost no BNST input neurons, and the authors conclude there is no direct innervation.”
