VM (Ventral medial nucleus of the thalamus) projects to PL (Prelimbic area)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- A Cre-dependent retrograde AAV expressing GFP was injected into the mPFC of GRP-Cre mice; GFP-labelled GRP-expressing cell bodies were found in the ventromedial thalamus, indicating that this nucleus sends GRPergic axons to the mPFC.

- “ventromedial thalamic nucleus (VM)” and “mPFC”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“GFP-labeled GRP neurons in the ventromedial thalamus after retrograde tracing from mPFC support this projection.”

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