BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) functionally connects to MRN (Midbrain reticular nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Optogenetic activation of GABAergic BNST neurons during NREM sleep raised the density of c-fos mRNA-positive DpMe cells (about 70 vs 27 cells/mm2) and evoked a transient calcium increase in glutamatergic DpMe neurons measured by fiber photometry.

Named in the paper: “GABABNST neurons” and “glutamatergic DpMe (GLUTDpMe) 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
“The c-fos densities (69.75 vs 26.75 cells/mm2) and the fiber-photometry calcium increase in glutamatergic DpMe neurons match Fig. 1G-H and Fig. 3D.”
