The claims behind it

Monosynaptic rabies tracing from PVT D2R-expressing neurons labelled cell bodies in the VTA.

DOI 10.1523/eneuro.0227-17.2017 · PubMed 29071300 · PMC5654238, Results, PVT afferents; Table 1

clm-y6xtwypm2kabsenttranssynaptic tracerproposed

Although rabies-labelled input cells were present in the VTA, none of them were immunoreactive for tyrosine hydroxylase, so no catecholaminergic VTA input to PVT D2R neurons was detected.
