AOBmi (Accessory olfactory bulb, mitral layer) synapses onto MEA (Medial amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Monosynaptic rabies tracing started from aromatase-Cre neurons in the medial amygdala labelled mitral/tufted cells in the accessory olfactory bulb. Their dendrites reached AOB glomeruli. About 89% of the labelled cells lay in the anterior AOB. Male mice had roughly ten times more labelled AOB cells per starter neuron than females (1.25 vs 0.13).

“The rabies data in Figs. 3, 4 and 6 support AOB mitral/tufted input to arom+ MeA cells, with about 89% anterior and 1.25 vs 0.13 cells per starter in males vs females.”
