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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Retrograde virus injected into the central amygdala labelled oxytocin-positive neurons in the PVN, which were spatially segregated from the NAc-projecting population.
Source: Distinct projections of PVN oxytocin neurons regulate the divergent defensive behaviors in response to social threat
