IRN (Intermediate reticular nucleus) synapses onto NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- absent
- Method
- transsynaptic tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- No dsRed-positive PPG neurons in the IRT were infected by monosynaptic rabies from cNTS PPG cells, indicating IRT PPG neurons do not provide input to them.

- Named in the paper
- “PPG neurons in IRT” and “cNTS PPG neurons”
- 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
“No infected IRT neuron was a PPG neuron, which the authors take as evidence that IRT PPG cells do not provide input.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
