39559 Posterior hypothalamic nucleusPrecommissural nucleus moderateCTB
At mammillary levels, massive numbers of labeled neurons were found within the morphologic borders of the dorsal premammillary nucleus, which appears to represent one of the most robust sources of afferents to the PRC (Fig. 3L). In addition, substantial numbers of retrogradely labeled neurons also were observed throughout the entire rostrocaudal extent of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (Fig. 3J–M).

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.
