Stress induces Fos expression in neurons of the thalamic paraventricular nucleus that innervate limbic forebrain sites.

The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) is a midline thalamic nucleus that responds strongly to exposure to various stressors. Many of the projection targets of PVT neurons, including the medial prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, and central/basolateral nuclei of the amygdala, are also ... View More
