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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies tracing from BLA neurons projecting to CeA labelled PVT input neurons, which made up about 64% of thalamic inputs. Many were CaMKIIα-positive, and their number did not change with CORT.

Named in the paper: “paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT)” and “BLA-to-CeA 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
“PVT supplied about 64% of thalamic inputs to BLA-to-CeA cells, about 47% were CaMKIIα-positive, and CORT had no significant effect.”
