PPN (Pedunculopontine nucleus) synapses onto STRd (Striatum dorsal region)

All claims for this connection
Species

Result
present
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Rabies-labelled neurons were found in the PPN, which contributed relatively more of the contralateral basal ganglia and midbrain inputs.

Named in the paper
“pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN)” and “Kremen1+ SPNs in dorsal striatum”
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

“PPN labelling appears in Fig. 6A and is relatively greater contralaterally in Fig. 6C.”
