PVH (Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus) projects to CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Axon-GCaMP6m driven in PVN oxytocin neurons labelled terminals in the central amygdala, allowing terminal calcium recordings there.
Source: Distinct projections of PVN oxytocin neurons regulate the divergent defensive behaviors in response to social threat
