| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to clarify the information dynamics of the pathway from the main olfactory system to the amygdala. We found that specific control of the amygdala activity resulted in abnormalities in social odor discrimination behavior, indicating that information transmission from the ventral olfactory bulb to the amygdala is involved in sexual behavior. Furthermore, we were able to visualize three-dimensional downstream circuits of neurons that respond to the conspecific odor.
