BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) projects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: ambiguous
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: Only sparse to nearly absent axonal labelling from Pnoc BNST neurons was quantified in the ventromedial hypothalamus.

Named in the paper: “PnocBNST neurons (adBNST)” and “ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)”
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
“VMH appears in the list of output regions with sparse to near-absent labeling from PnocBNST axons.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
