Specifically table 1:

Innervate
a connectivity relation where a neurite of one neuron synapses with a neurite 
or a region of the soma of another neuron or a region of a muscle cell or a 
gland cell.
Synapse_with
a connectivity relation where there is apposition between the presynaptic 
membrane of a neurite of one neuron and the postsynaptic membrane of one or 
more neurites of another neuron or a region of a muscle cell or a gland cell 
and some form of neurotransmission is evident between them.
Projects_to
a connectivity relation where individual axons comprising a fiber tract 
originating from one or more brain regions synapse_with neurites or somas of a 
collection of neurons located in one or more other brain regions. This relation 
may be synonymous with ‘terminate_in’.
Projects_from
a connectivity relation where individual axons comprising a fiber tract are 
parts of a collection of neurons located in one or more brain regions. This 
relation may be synonymous with ‘originate_in’.
Sends_output_to
a subproperty of project_to relation where neurotransmission is sent from one 
brain region to one or more other brain regions.
Receives_input_from
a subproperty of project_from relation where neurotransmission is received by 
one brain region from one or more other brain regions.
Has_pathway
a connectivity relation where a collection of neurons located in brain region A 
sends_output_to a collection of neurons located in B via axons comprising the 
fiber tract from

FMA innervate maps to RO synapsed_to.  Not clear to me how synapse_with differs 
from this.

Projects_to maps roughly to RO innervates - although not strictly as innervates 
requires synapsing by the neurons involved in the target regions.

Projects_from doesn't map easily.   tract that connected_to some neuropil 
domain would give correct answer.

RO doesn't have  relatinos corresponding to sends_output_to & 
recieves_input_from. Superficially one might think that property chains of 
innervated_by/innervates could work, but these are unsafe because tracts may 
branch.
Could define wrt chains of synapsed neurons.  This would fit with planned work 
on circuits for VFB
