MEA glutamatergic neurons synapses onto VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species

Result

Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Most pre-mGRASP-expressing MeApv cells co-expressed CaMKIIα-driven mCherry or hM4D(Gi). These cells formed mGRASP-labelled synapses on VmHvl dendrites, and chemogenetic inhibition of them during foot shock reduced the stress-induced increase in mGRASP puncta.
Source
Named in the paper
“CaMKIIα-expressing excitatory MeApv neurons” and “VmHvl”
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

“Most pre-mGRASP MeApv cells co-expressed CaMKIIα-driven constructs, and inhibiting them with CNO reduced the stress-induced increase in VmHvl mGRASP puncta (Fig. 2, Supp. Fig. 1E-K).”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
