LS-projecting and mPFC-projecting ventral hippocampal cells are largely anatomically distinct cell groups.

Quoted textsource-backed
double retrograde tracing demonstrated that LS- and mPFC-projecting cells represent two largely anatomically distinct cell groups

mPFC-projecting ventral hippocampal cells promoted anxiety.

Quoted textsource-backed
The observed anxiety-reducing function of LS-projecting cells was in contrast with the function of mPFC-projecting cells, which promoted anxiety.
Claim 3circuit organizationsupports2017Source 1DOIPubMed

The ventral hippocampus contains discrete projection-defined cell populations that either promote or suppress anxiety depending on their targets.

Quoted textsource-backed
our findings suggest that the vHPC houses discrete populations of cells that either promote or suppress anxiety through differences in their projection targets
