The claims behind it

Rabies-labelled input neurons were seen in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis after tracing from VTA dopamine neurons, and BNST labelling loaded positively on the component separating drug-treated from control brains.

Rabies tracing from GAD2-Cre-defined GABAergic VTA neurons labelled BNST neurons, and BNST input labelling was relatively enriched onto GABAergic compared with dopaminergic VTA cells.
