AV (Anteroventral nucleus of thalamus) synapses onto CP (Caudoputamen)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Anteroventral thalamic neurons were labeled as monosynaptic inputs to pDMS MSNs, including D2-MSNs.

Named in the paper: “anteroventral thalamic nucleus (AV)” and “D2-MSNs in the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS)”
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
“AV is labeled in the thalamic images and is analyzed by connection type in Fig. 5C.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
