MEA GABAergic neurons functionally connects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Halorhodopsin silencing of MeApd VGAT neurons during mating lowered the number of c-Fos-positive cells in the VMHvl relative to control-virus mice.
