41240 Retrochiasmatic areaPeriaqueductal gray ventrolateral division strongPHAL
Axons from the RCHb descending through the midbrain periventricular system provide a rather dense terminal field in the lateral part of the periaqueductal gray extending from the level of the oculomotor nucleus to its caudal end (Fig. 2E). Collator note: Atlas Level 46, Swanson rat brain atlas.

General description technique/protocol: In five experiments, the PHA-L injection labeled neurons confined almost entirely to the RCHb, immediately in front of the arcuate nucleus, underneath the third ventricle. In all of these cases, a very similar pattern of anterogradely labeled fibers was observed. The appearance and location of PHA-L-labeled cells for a representative injection are shown in Fig. 1. Collator note: the injection appears to be made at Atlas Level 25, Swanson rat brain atlas.
