MB (Midbrain) synapses onto LP (Lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: With helper AAV (TVA and rabies glycoprotein) in LP and EnvA-pseudotyped ΔG rabies in BLA, starter BLA-projecting LP neurons transsynaptically labelled presynaptic SC neurons. Labelled SC cell numbers were lower in VPA mice than in saline controls.

Named in the paper: “superior colliculus (SC)” and “lateral posterior nucleus (LP)”
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) disagrees, 2026-10-09
“The subject is mapped to the whole midbrain (MBA:313), but the paper specifically means the superior colliculus, which has its own term.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
