CP (Caudoputamen) projects to VPM (Ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- ambiguous
- Method
- anterograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- BDA striatal injections labeled terminals in VPM, but the authors could not exclude uptake by corticofugal fibers of passage and leave the projection unresolved.

- Named in the paper
- “PuI∼ and PuC∼” and “VPM”
- 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 authors leave the striatal-VPM projection unresolved because of possible uptake by fibers of passage.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
