39531 Zona incertaPrecommissural nucleus very strongCTB
...large nubmers of retrogradely labeled neurons were observed in the rostral pole of the zona incerta. This certainly represents one of the most dense concentrations of retrograde labeling observed in the experiments with CTb deposits in the regions of the PRC (Fig. 3H, I).

39532 Zona incertaPrecommissural nucleus moderateCTB
Proceeding caudally, moderate numbers of marked cells were also noted in a region in the zona incerta that was continuous with substantial retrograde labeling in the medial zone of the ventral geniculate nucleus, where relatively small numbers of marked neurons also appeared to extend into the lateral zone in addition to the intergeniculate leaflet of the lateral geniculate complex (Fig. 3L, M).
Canteras N.S & Goto M., 1999
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.
