BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) projects to PSTN (Parasubthalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Cre-dependent mGFP-2A-synaptophysin-mRuby injected into the ovBNST of Vipr2-Cre mice labelled axons and presynaptic puncta in the PSTN, described as one of the main outputs, with no sex difference in signal.

Named in the paper: “ovBNSTVipr2 neurons (oval subnucleus of the BNST)” and “parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN)”
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
“The paper's own Cre-dependent anterograde tracing in mice shows the PSTN as a primary ovBNST-Vipr2 output, with no sex difference in signal, as Fig. 4C and 4E show.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
