Identification of whole-brain efferents of POMC neurons. (A) Design of recombinant AAV strains for Cre-dependent cell labeling. (B) AAV-DIO-mtdTomato and AAV-DIO-EmGFP were injected into the ARC and NTS of POMC-Cre mice respectively. (C) Direct comparison of the axon projections of the ARC and NTS POMC neurons. The dominant projections of the ARC (red, indicated with red words) and NTS (green, indicated with white words) were represented in a series of sagittal sections. DTg, dorsal tegmental nucleus; Rt, reticular thalamic nucleus. (D) Representative sagittal sections show the axon projections of AgRP neurons. LDTg, laterodorsal tegmental nucleus.
