Arom+ neurons in the ventral MEA project to the AOB. A, Aromatase (red) and fluorogold from an AOB injection (cyan) strongly colocalize in the MEAv (arrowhead: co-labeled neuron). B, Most arom+ MEAv neurons project to the AOB and are co-labeled by fluorogold (p<0.00001, single sample t-test). C, The small population of arom+ neurons in the MEAv constitutes approximately 98% of all arom+→AOB neurons in the brain excluding the arom+ AOB population. D, A 3D rendering of arom+ neurons in the MeA is shown registered to the Allen Institute reference mouse brain (Allen Institute for Brain Science, 2004, Wang et al., 2020). Neurons that were labeled by fluorogold (orange; arrowhead) project to the AOB and are more anterior and ventral than the population of arom+ neurons in the MEApd (red; arrow) that do not project back to the AOB.
