Amygdaloid projections to the ventral striatum in mice: Direct and indirect chemosensory inputs to the brain reward system

Rodents constitute good models for studying the neural basis of socio-sexual behaviour. Recent findings in mice have revealed the molecular identity of the some pheromonal molecules triggering intersexual attraction. However, the neural pathways mediating this basic socio-sexual behaviour remain elu...
