DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) projects to VTA (Ventral tegmental area)

- Evidence
- Dorsal raphe Nts neurons were dense, but few contained VTA tracer, indicating a minimal projection. Double-labelled cells were most frequent caudally, around -4.8 to -5.0 bregma.

- Named in the paper
- “DR Nts neurons” and “VTA”
- 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
“DR Nts neurons were dense but rarely FG+, and colocalized cells peaked caudally at -4.8 to -5.0 bregma.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
