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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Few labelled cells in the ventromedial hypothalamus were found after CAV2-Cre injection into lateral adBNST, significantly fewer than for medial adBNST.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.0023 (SEM 0.001), n = 7
Source: Whole-brain input mapping of the lateral versus medial anterodorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse

Named in the paper: “ventromedial hypothalamus (vmH)” and “alBNST”
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
“vmH is 0.23% (SE 0.10) and significantly lower than in amBNST.”
