Abstract:ObjectivePhenylethanolamine N‐methyltransferase (PNMT)‐expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) contribute to the regulation of autonomic functions. However, the neural circuits linking these neurons to other brain regions remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the connectivity mechanisms of the PNMT‐expressing neurons in the NTS (NTSPNMT neurons).MethodsThe methodologies employed in this study included a modified rabies virus‐based retrograde neural tracing technique, conventional vir… Show more
