Pseudotyped rabies tracing from CANE-tagged PAG-USV neurons and from VGAT+ caudo/ventrolateral PAG neurons labelled cell bodies in the medial preoptic area, indicating monosynaptic preoptic input to both PAG cell types. In situ hybridization showed about 84% of these labelled preoptic cells express VGAT.
