In the version of this article initially published, there were errors in data analysis and presentation. The corrected analysis and presentation do not change the results or interpretation of the data. Asterisk definitions have also been added for clarity as noted below. Changes with respect to the number of subjects reflect errors in reporting only and did not affect the data analysis. The percentages in Figure 1b originally reported as 43, 3, 18 and 36% have been changed to 43, 1, 19 and 37%, respectively. In the first paragraph of the Results, “97% of Nts-labeled cells colocalizing with VTA beads” has been changed to “96% of Nts-labeled cells colocalizing with VTA beads” and “this subpopulation comprised 33% of all mPOA VTA-projecting neurons” has been changed to “this subpopulation comprised 35% of all mPOA VTA-projecting neurons.” In the legend for Figure 2a, the n value originally reported as 9 has been changed to 9 and 10, and asterisks have been added to read ***P = 0.0006. In Figure 3a, points were misplotted as a result of an error in data analysis. The graph has been replaced.

In Figure 3e, the percentage in the male E2 pie chart for excited neurons has been changed from 24 to 23%. Figure 5b originally contained duplicate example traces of calcium transients that were supposed to be taken from three individual neurons; new traces have been supplied. In Figure 5c,d, the asterisks have been changed from *** to **** and defined in the legend as ****P < 0.0001, Bonferroni post hoc test, E2 versus pre and E2 versus post.

In Figure 6i,j, points were misplotted as a result of an error in data analysis, and error bars plotted as s.d. were misidentified in the legend as s.e.m. The data have been replotted, with error bars representing s.e.m. In the Figure 6i legend, the values originally reported as F_1,8 = 23.2 have been changed to F_1,9 = 63.1. Asterisks have been defined at the end of the Figure 6 legend as *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, Bonferroni post hoc test. The statistically significant differences in Figure 7b originally indicated by ** have been changed to ***; these have been defined in the legend as ***P < 0.001, Bonferroni post hoc test. In Figure 7e, a data point in the E2 group was missing; the graph has been replaced. An asterisk has also been added in the Figure 7e legend to read *P = 0.016. In Figure 8c, data were misplotted as a result of errors in analysis. The graph has been replaced, and the statistically significant differences originally indicated by * have been changed to **.

In Figure 8g, the vertical axis was truncated at 250, resulting in missing data points; the graph has been replaced, and the statistically significant differences originally indicated by * have been changed to **. The values originally reported in the legend as F_1,12 = 7.92 as a result of an error in manuscript preparation have been changed to F_1,12 = 7.15. In Figure 8h, the vertical axis was truncated at −0.4 and 0.8, resulting in missing data points, and data were misplotted as a result of an error in analysis. The graph has been replaced, and the statistically significant differences originally indicated by * have been changed to ***. The values originally reported in the legend as F_1,12 = 7.15, P = 0.0200 have been changed to F_1,12 = 9.8, P = 0.009. In Figure 8j, the vertical axis was truncated at 200, resulting in missing data points. The graph has been replaced, and the test statistic originally described in the legend as t_3,33 has been changed to F_3,33. In Figure 8k, the vertical axis was truncated at −0.4 and 0.4, resulting in missing data points, and data were misplotted as a result of an error in analysis.
