axons of th-immunoreactive neurons in the vlm projected ( 1 ) dorsally , in a series of parallel transtegmental trajectories , toward the dorsomedial reticular formation , the nts , and vagal motor nucleus , ( 2 ) longitudinally , through the central tegmental field , as fascicles running parallel to the neuraxis , ( 3 ) ventrolaterally toward the ventral surface ( vs ) of the rostral vlm where they appeared to terminate , and ( 4 ) medially into the raphe , where they arborized .
