Local circuit regulation of paraventricular nucleus stress integration
Abstract
Limbic neurocircuits play a central role in regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis. Limbic influences on adrenocortical hormone secretion are mediated by transynaptic activation or inhibition of hypophysiotrophic neurons in the medial parvocellular paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Projections from the ventral subiculum, prefrontal cortex, medial amygdala, lateral septum, paraventricular thalamus and suprachiasmatic nucleus (SN) terminate in the immediate surround of the PVN, an area heavily populated by GABAergic interneurons. As such, these regions are positioned to modulate paraventricular output via excitation or inhibition of interneuronal projections into the PVN. In addition, the same limbic and diencephalic regions have projections to local PVN-projecting hypothalamic and basal telencephalic nuclei, including the dorsomedial and medial preoptic nuclei and the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. These regions are involved in both inhibitory and excitatory regulation of the stress axis, indicating that they contain heterogeneous neuronal populations whose relative impact on the PVN is determined by the nature of afferent stimuli. Thus, limbic modulation of the pituitary-adrenocortical system appears to be a multisynaptic process integrated at the level of local PVN-projecting neurocircuits. Local circuits are likely the primary integrators of anticipatory stress responses, and may indeed be the focus of HPA dysfunction seen with aging or affective disease.

“Because there are no direct hippocampal, prefrontal, or amygdalar connections to the PVN, feedback from these regions are instead relayed via the BNST, lateral septum, and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), which are all predominantly GABAergic (Herman et al., 2002(Herman et al., , 2004)).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
