MEA (Medial amygdalar nucleus) projects to OT (Olfactory tubercle)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
After cholera toxin B was injected into the medial olfactory tubercle of female mice, retrogradely labeled cell bodies appeared in the anterior medial amygdala. A subset of these cells also expressed Fos after exposure to male odors.
Named in the paper
“anterior Me (MeA)” and “medial olfactory tubercle (mOT)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“CTb injected into the mOT back-labeled MeA neurons, and a subset coexpressed Fos after male odor exposure (Fig. 3C, Fig. 4).”
