Molecular Ontology Predicts Output Connections From the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) integrates visceral inputs to coordinate appetite and digestion, breathing, and cardiorespiratory reflexes. Using cell‐type‐specific tracing, we show that excitatory Lmx1b neurons project broadly to brainstem and forebrain targets, whereas inhibitory output remains largely brainstem‐restricted. Catecholaminergic (
