DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Fluorogold injected into the anterodorsal BNST densely labelled TPH2-positive serotonergic cells in the caudal dorsal raphe, with only a few labelled cells at other raphe levels. This confirms a discrete serotonergic DRC-to-BNSTad projection.
Source: Constitutive 5-HT2C receptor knock-out facilitates fear extinction through altered activity of a dorsal raphe-bed nucleus of the stria terminalis pathway
