Intensity according to an average of the schematics shown in Fig. 2a’’,b’’’ on a scale from no expression (white, −) to strong expression (dark blue, +++++) in a total of six levels (−, +, ++, +++, ++++, +++++). Abbreviations: IF, interfascicular nucleus; ml, terminal nucleus; PBP/VTAR, parabrachial nucleus + ventral tegmental area rostral part; PN/PIF, paranigral nucleus + parainterfascicular nucleus; RLi, rostral linear nucleus; SNc, substantia nigra pars compacta; SNr, substantia nigra pars reticulata.
