PVT (Paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus) synapses onto BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Projection-specific monosynaptic rabies tracing from BLA neurons projecting to NAc labelled input cells in anterior and posterior PVT. The PVT supplied about 67% of thalamic inputs, and about a third of these inputs were CaMKIIα-positive. Chronic CORT reduced anterior PVT inputs.
Source: Disrupted basolateral amygdala circuits supports negative valence bias in depressive states

Named in the paper: “paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT)” and “BLA-to-NAc 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 tracing from BLA-to-NAc cells found about 67% of thalamic inputs in the PVT, about 32% of them CaMKIIα-positive, and fewer anterior PVT inputs after CORT.”
