PVT (Paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus) synapses onto ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Rabies input cells were consistently found in the anterior PVT, which supplied about a tenth of inputs and was a stronger source than several other areas; the posterior thalamus lacked input cells.

Named in the paper: “anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (aPVT)” and “NAcSh-VP projection neurons”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Rabies input cells consistently appear in aPVT, the PVT gives about 10%, aPVT is stronger than areas such as PT, and the posterior thalamus lacks input cells.”
