The calretinin-positive (CR+) neurons of the paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) have been recognized to play pivotal role in modulating stress and arousal states. In the accompanying poster (Kota et al.), we defined several brain regions containing glutamatergic, GABAergic or mixed populations of neurons that project to PVT. In this study, we mapped cortical and subcortical afferents in the PVT and examined their distribution relative to the PVT/CR+ neuron population. We used vGLUT2-Cre, vGAT-Cre, and vGLUT2-Cre/vGAT-Flp double transgenic mouse strains to explore subcortical inputs via ant
