DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) projects to SNc (Substantia nigra, compact part)

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
single neuron reconstruction
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Reconstructed DRN axons crossed the substantia nigra pars compacta bearing en passant varicosities, and one neuron arborized there.

Named in the paper
“dorsal raphe nucleus” and “substantia nigra pars compacta”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

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

“The Fig. 2B axon passes through SNc with en passant varicosities, and the Fig. 2E axon arborizes in SNc.”
