Lightly to moderately labeled sites were PAG, VTA, PH, IP, SUM, and LM (Fig. 5q–t). Collator note: VTA is labeled only laterally, as continuation of the field from SUMl.
Hoover W.B. & Vertes R.P, 2007
General description technique/protocol: Collator note: FG injection into caudal half of the PL. The injection is shown in Fig.5 C-E, which corresponds to Swanson Atlas Layers 6-9. Dorsoventrally, the injection is located in the ventral part of the PL in Atlas Level 6, it is restricted to PL in Level 8, and extending into the dorsal part of the ILA in Level 9. The injection is made in the deep layers of the PL (Level 9) and seem to label all layers in Level 6.

The injection was performed in: left hemisphere
Position of terminal field: lateral
Topological position of terminal field: disjoint
