LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area) projects to SO (Supraoptic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Anterograde viral tracing showed that the supraoptic nucleus, like the PVN, receives projections from the lateral hypothalamic area.
Source: Distinct projections of PVN oxytocin neurons regulate the divergent defensive behaviors in response to social threat
