Evidence
Reconstructed DRN axons reached the prefrontal cortex and arborized in all six layers. Varicosity counts per axon ranged from 239 to 3,063.

Named in the paper
“dorsal raphe nucleus” and “prefrontal cortex”
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

“The Fig. 3C and 3D axons arborize in all six prefrontal layers with 3,063 and 239 varicosities, and the Fig. 2A axon's 311 falls inside that range.”
