DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) projects to STRd (Striatum dorsal region)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: single neuron reconstruction
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Individually BDA-filled DRN axons were traced into the dorsolateral (sensorimotor) striatum, where they broke into many terminal collaterals. One axon bore about 2,131 varicosities there.
