CL:0000740 synapses onto EW (Edinger-Westphal nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Neurons in the midline Edinger-Westphal nucleus were labelled by intravitreally injected PRV724, and the number of labelled cells was reduced after optic nerve crush.
Source: Use of a tissue clearing technique combined with retrograde trans-synaptic viral tracing to evaluate changes in mouse retinorecipient brain regions following optic nerve crush

Named in the paper: “retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)” and “Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EWN)”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“The midline EWN was labelled and its count was significantly reduced after crush.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
