39553 Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus central partPrecommissural nucleus moderateCTB
At tuberal levels of the hypothalamus, all parts of the ventromedial nucleus contained impressive numbers of marked cells, which appeared to be distributed more densely within its anterior and dorsomedial parts (Fig. 3H–K). At these levels, substantial numbers of labeled cells also were found between the ventromedial and dorsomedial nuclei as well as in the perifornical region throughout the entire rostrocaudal extent of the dorsomedial nucleus, which, in contrast, contained only a few retrogradely labeled neurons (Fig. 3J,K).

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.
