The claims behind it

clm-bhwfn3mh1npresentanterograde tracerproposed

Cre-dependent tdTomato AAV injected into the caudal dorsal raphe of ePet1-Cre mice labelled serotonergic terminals in the dorsal BNST bilaterally. Terminal fluorescence was significantly higher in the anterodorsal BNST than in the oval nucleus (n = 3 mice).

clm-tashqhbpbhpresentretrograde tracerstrength: strongproposed

Fluorogold injected into the anterodorsal BNST densely labelled TPH2-positive serotonergic cells in the caudal dorsal raphe, with only a few labelled cells at other raphe levels. This confirms a discrete serotonergic DRC-to-BNSTad projection.
