CL:0000740 synapses onto VII (Facial motor nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Neurons of the facial motor nucleus were labelled bilaterally by intravitreal PRV724 in cleared brains, and counts were similar in control and optic nerve crush mice.
Source: Use of a tissue clearing technique combined with retrograde trans-synaptic viral tracing to evaluate changes in mouse retinorecipient brain regions following optic nerve crush

Named in the paper: “retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)” and “VII nucleus (facial nerve nucleus)”
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-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“VII nucleus labelling was bilateral and did not differ between control and crush mice.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
