Nrp2 is sufficient to instruct circuit formation of mitral-cells to mediate odour-induced attractive social responses

Abstract

Neuropilin 2 (Nrp2) is expressed by a subset of mitral cells in the postero-ventral olfactory bulb in mice. Here the authors show that Nrp2 is sufficient to instruct mitral cell targeting to the anterior part of medial amygdala that modulates olfactory-driven attractive social behaviour.
