These fibers establish significant terminal fields in rostral regions of the dorsal premammillary nucleus (Figs. 6S, 7E'') and in ventral regions of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (Fig. 6S–T).

Caudally, the terminal field density is reduced dramatically (Fig. 6Q), and axons in the medial forebrain bundle continue descending, avoiding the parasubthalamic nucleus and adjacent far lateral regions of the lateral hypothalamic area (Fig. 6R–T). This latter major feature distinguishes BSTtr projections from those arising in the BST anterolateral group, which heavily innervate the region in and around the parasubthalamic nucleus (see Dong and Swanson, 2004).

General description technique/protocol: Finally, the BSTtr was heavily labeled in experiment BST100, with slight contamination in adjacent regions of the BSTif, BST anterolateral area, and substantia innominata (Figs. 1D,D', 2).
