CTb-labeled neurons were found in the periventricular and periaqueductal gray matter (Figs. 4J–Q, 7E), midbrain raphe nuclei (Figs. 4M–P, 7E), parabrachial nucleus (Figs. 4R–T, 7F), pre-locus coeruleus nucleus (Figs. 4Q, 7F), NTS (Figs. 4R,S, 7G), and ventrolateral medulla (Fig. 4R). Collator note: the strongest cell bodies labeling is around Atlas Levels 46.
