PVH (Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus) projects to MY (Medulla)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: After WGA-HRP was injected into one side of the DVC in asthmatic rats, retrogradely labelled cells appeared in the PVN, dense in its medial and lateral subnuclei and scattered in the dorsal subnucleus. Across 8 rats, 634 HRP-labelled PVN neurons were counted; about 18.14% were HRP/OT and 2.37% HRP/Fos/OT, so roughly a fifth of DVC-projecting PVN neurons were oxytocin-positive.

“The paper's own WGA-HRP injection into the DVC retrogradely labelled PVN neurons in asthmatic rats, with 634 cells counted across 8 rats at 18.14% HRP/OT and 2.37% HRP/Fos/OT, and the locator points to these results.”
