TI  - Oestrogen infusions into the amygdala potentiate excitatory transmission from the 
      accessory olfactory bulb to tuberoinfundibular arcuate neurones in the mouse.

AB  - We have previously shown that oestrogen increases the percentage of 
      tuberoinfundibular (TI) arcuate neurones that respond to electrical stimulation 
      of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). This study focuses on the amygdala as a 
      possible site for the hormonal modulation of AOB input to TI arcuate neurones. 
      Local infusions of 17 beta-oestradiol (30 pmol) into the amygdala of 
      ovariectomized female mice significantly potentiated excitatory responses of TI 
      arcuate neurones to AOB stimulation. This effect appeared rapidly (less than 10 
      min) after infusion. The inactive oestrogen isomer, 17 alpha-oestradiol, infused 
      in the same manner, was without effect. These results suggest that oestrogen acts 
      directly on amygdala neurones, thereby modulating olfactory information relayed 
      along the vomeronasal pathway to TI arcuate neurones.
