All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result

Method
electron microscopy
Sign
unknown
Evidence
In dual-labeled ultrathin serial sections (immunogold-silver for 5-HT, DAB for NPY), serotonin-containing axon terminals made direct membrane appositions and small symmetric-type synapses onto NPY-immunoreactive somata in the lateral nucleus.

Named in the paper
“5-HT-ir axon terminals (serotonergic afferents)” and “NPY-ir neurons in La (lateral nucleus)”
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

“Fig. 4 and the EM results show 5-HT-ir terminals making membrane appositions and symmetric synapses on NPY-ir somata in La and BL of rat.”

Status

proposed

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