A, Representative photomicrograph showing a CTb injection site in the mOT. B, Schematic reconstruction of coronal sections of the largest (black) and smallest (gray) injection sites in female mice given CTb injections in the mOT. Sections are ordered sequentially from anterior (left) to posterior (right), with the numbers shown representing the distance (in millimeters) anterior to bregma for each section. Adapted from Franklin and Paxinos (2008). C, Mean (±SEM) number of back-labeled CTb+ cell bodies in various forebrain sites in female mice given CTb injections into the mOT 5 d previously (n = 30). AcbC, nucleus accumbens core; BMA, basomedial amygdala; Aco, anterolateral cortical amygdala; daPC, anterodosal PC; iaPC, intermediate PC; vaPC, ventral PC; dpPC, posterodorsal PC; ipPC, intermediate PC; MPA, medial preoptic area; VMHvl, ventrolateral portion of the ventromedial hypothalamus; VMHdm, dorsomedial portion of the ventromedial hypothalamus.
