Identification of neural projections from the forebrain to the kidney, using the virus pseudorabies

Abstract

These data demonstrate a chain of synaptically connected neurons extending to the rat kidney through several levels of the neuraxis from the forebrain, and the lamina terminalis -- an area known to be involved in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. The Bartha strain of pseudorabies virus was injected into the kidney of male Sprague-Dawley rats, resulting in retrograde infections in spinal cord segments (T1-T8), and successive infection in five autonomic 'premotor' areas of the brain, the rostroventrolateral medulla, rostroventromedial medulla, raphe nuclei, A5 region of the pons, and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, as well as the nucleus of the solitary tract, locus coeruleus, and subcoeruleus nuclei. Higher order labelling was found in regions of the forebrain, including the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis, median preoptic nucleus, subfornical organ, medial preoptic area, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, anteroventral periventricular nucleus, lateral preoptic area, suprachiasmatic nucleus, retrochiasmatic nucleus, primary motor cortex, and visceral cortex. This polysynaptic pathway to the kidney may form the substrate underlying the impact of forebrain structures on renal function.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
