Lesions of the Posterior Paraventricular Thalamus Block Habituation of Hypothalamic‐Pituitary‐Adrenal Responses to Repeated Restraint

We examined the role of the posterior division of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (pPVTh) in habituation of hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) responses to repeated restraint. Habituation refers to the decrement in HPA activity that occurs with repeated exposure to the same or homot…
