FIGURE 6.3

Convergence of input from the ventral main olfactory bulb (MOB) and the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) onto the medial amygdala (MeA) of the female mouse. (A) Location of injections of anterograde tracer into the ventral MOB in green, shown by filled arrow, and AOB in red, shown by open arrow. Convergence of projections from MOB (green, filled arrow) and AOB (red, open arrow) onto neighboring laminae in the anterior region of the MeA (B) and posterodorsal subdivision of the MeA (C).
