Figure 8. — Integration of sexual odorant and leptin signaling pathways in PMv LepRb neurons. The diagram depicts a population of PMv LepRb cells that receive input from both leptin (directly) and sexual odorants (indirectly through MeA). LepRb PMv cells connect to POA/AvPv cells, including GnRH neurons, but do not significantly innervate the amygdala, as do other PMv neurons of undefined phenotype. This circuit integrates metabolic and sexual odorant signals within PMv LepRb cells for the presumably stimulatory glutamatergic (Glu?) innervation of GnRH neurons.
