Evidence
Axonal labelling from virally tagged Pnoc neurons in adBNST was prominent in the medial preoptic area, one of the two main distal targets identified by fiber-density quantification.

Named in the paper
“PnocBNST neurons (adBNST)” and “medial preoptic area (mPOA)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“mPOA is named alongside MeA as a predominant target of PnocBNST axons, shown in Fig. 5D–5E.”
