A sex‐specific feedback projection from aromatase‐expressing neurons in the medial amygdala to the accessory olfactory bulb
T Inbar, R Davis, JF Bergan - Journal of Comparative …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) plays a critical role in classifying pheromonal signals.
