“…The TTd and DP have reciprocal connections with infralimbic cortex (IL), which projects to the autonomic centers in the hypothalamus and brainstem, such as DMH, LH, parabrachial nucleus (PBN), and nucleus of solitary tract (NTS). The ventral part of DMH projects to the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVH) and activates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis to release stress hormones ( Herman et al, 2016 ; Nakamura and Morrison, 2022 ). The lateral stream (blue arrows) originates from the lateral map of the OB (blue) and sends orthonasal/exteroceptive odor information to the external and lateral parts of the anterior olfactory nucleus (AONe, AONl), lateral part of the olfactory tubercle (OTl), ventral and dorsal parts of the anterior piriform cortex (APCv, APCd), posterior piriform cortex (PPC), nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract (NLOT), anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial nuclei of the cortical amygdala (aCoA, plCoA, pmCoA), medial amygdala (MeA), amygdalo-piriform transition area (AmPir), and lateral entorhinal area (ENTl).…”
