VENT (Ventral group of the dorsal thalamus) projects to ACA (Anterior cingulate area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: VAL/VM contained lightly labelled retrograde cells after rACC injection in young males (moderate in middle-aged males), a minor input source.

Named in the paper: “ventral anterior-lateral/ventromedial thalamic nucleus (VAL/VM)” and “rACC”
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
“VAL/VM input was light in young males, moderate in middle-aged males and minor in middle-aged females.”
