AOBmi (Accessory olfactory bulb, mitral layer) synapses onto AOBgr (Accessory olfactory bulb, granular layer)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electron microscopy
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Electron microscopy of the mitral cell layer of the accessory olfactory bulb in adult male mice identified excitatory synapses between mitral and granule cells. Synapses were classified by postsynaptic density thickness and counted in 20 sections per mouse. Cntn6 knockout males had more of these excitatory synapses than wild-type littermates.

Named in the paper: “mitral cells in the AOB” and “granule cells in the AOB”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-08
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-08
“The final Results section reports EM-identified excitatory synapses, classified by postsynaptic density thickness, between AOB mitral and granule cells in mouse; this implies mitral-to-granule transmission and matches the cited locator.”
