39536 Medial preoptic areaPrecommissural nucleus light/moderateCTB
In the preoptic regions, relatively sparse numbers of marked cells were observed in the median preoptic, anteroventral periventricular, medial preoptic, anterodorsal preoptic, anteroventral preoptic, and parastrial nuclei, as well as in the undifferentiated part of the medial preoptic area. In addition, a very few retrogradely labeled neurons were noted in the lateral preoptic area (Fig. 3C-F).

General description technique/protocol: In four experiments, the deposit of the tracer appeared to be fairly confined to the PRC. The appearance of a representative CTb injection site in the PRC is shown in Figure 2....The results of this experiment are described in detail, because the injection site virtually was confined to the PRC and, at the same time, involved most of the nucleus.
