VPMpc (Ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus, parvicellular part) projects to GU (Gustatory areas)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: AAV9-driven GFP or RFP injected into VPMpc labelled axons in GC, concentrated in the granular and dysgranular subdivisions and found to some degree in all subdivisions. The fields overlapped most with BLA axons in dysgranular GC.

“AAV9 anterograde labelling from VPMpc showed direct axons in GC, mainly granular and dysgranular, overlapping most with BLA axons in dysgranular GC.”
