All claims for this connection
Species

Result
present
Method
anterograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
ChR2-tdTomato labelled fibers from MeApd glutamatergic neurons were present in the MPN, though they looked less prominent than the GABAergic innervation.

Named in the paper
“MeApd VGluT2 neurons” and “MPN”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
