ACA (Anterior cingulate area) projects to PVH (Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent retrograde AAV injected into the PVN of Emx1-Cre mice also labelled neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex, showing that this cortical area projects to the PVN.
