AB  - The cortical (CoA) and the medial (MeA) nuclei of the amygdala are involved in 
      the processing of olfactory information relevant to social recognition in the 
      ewe. To better understand the neural pathways responsible for these effects, the 
      connections of both CoA and MeA with the telencephalic and diencephalic regions 
      were studied by injecting an anterograde (Biotin-Dextran-Amine, BDA) or a 
      retrograde (Fluorogold, FG) neuronal tracer into either the CoA or the MeA. 
      Concerning the primary olfactory structures, the CoA receives inputs from both 
      the main olfactory bulb and the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), while the MeA is 
      innervated by cells only from the AOB. Among the other olfactory structures, only 
      the entorhinal cortex and the tenia tecta are connected with both the CoA and the 
      MeA. With respect to the other secondary olfactory structures, the connections 
      with the CoA and the MeA show segregating neuronal routes. The CoA is connected 
      with the accessory olfactory nucleus, the piriform, the endopiriform and the 
      orbitofrontal cortices while the MeA exhibited connections with the nucleus of 
      the lateral olfactory tract, the perirhinal and the insular cortices. Concerning 
      the diencephalic structures, only the MeA receives projections from the PVN and 
      the MBH. On the other hand, we showed that the BNST is the major site of 
      connection with both the CoA and the MeA. Reciprocal projections were observed 
      between the CoA and the MeA and between both nuclei and the basal or the lateral 
      nuclei of the amygdala with the exception of the CoA which does not send inputs 
      to the lateral nucleus. These data are discussed in relation with olfactory 
      learning in the context of sexual and maternal behavior in sheep.
