Differential efferent projections of the anterior, posteroventral and posterodorsal subdivisions of the medial amygdala in mice

Differential efferent projections of the anterior, posteroventral and posterodorsal subdivisions of the medial amygdala in mice

The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key structure in the control of sociosexual behaviour in mice. It receives direct projections from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs, as well as an important hormonal input.
