MEA GABAergic neurons projects to MPO (Medial preoptic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After Cre-dependent ChR2 was expressed in MeA GABAergic neurons of Vgat-Cre mice, ChR2-labelled axon terminals were seen within the delineated MPOA, where an optic fiber was placed for terminal stimulation.

Named in the paper: “GABAergic neurons in the MeA” and “medial preoptic area (MPOA)”
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
“Panel X shows ChR2-labelled terminals from Cre-dependent expression in MeA Vgat neurons inside the outlined MPOA, which is anterograde viral labelling of this projection in mice.”
