MOB (Main olfactory bulb) projects to MEA (Medial amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After unilateral injection of the anterograde multi-trans-synaptic herpes virus H129-H8 into the olfactory bulb, labelled neurons appeared bilaterally in the posterodorsal and posteroventral subdivisions of the medial amygdala 72 h later, which the authors interpret as olfactory input reaching these nuclei; about 90% of the virus-labelled cells in each subdivision also stained for NPSR.

Named in the paper: “olfactory bulb (OB)” and “posterodorsal (MePD) and posteroventral (MePV) medial amygdala”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“The Results and Fig. 5A–D show H129-H8 labelling in bilateral MePD and MePV after a unilateral OB injection in mice, and the paraphrase correctly calls the route multi-synaptic and gives the roughly 90% NPSR overlap.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
