PVH (Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent axon-targeted GCaMP6m expressed in PVN oxytocin neurons labelled axonal terminals within the nucleus accumbens, where fibre photometry signals were recorded.
Source: Distinct projections of PVN oxytocin neurons regulate the divergent defensive behaviors in response to social threat
