40137 Precommissural nucleusMedial pretectal area strongPHAL
In the pretectum, the PRC provides a dense input to the nucleus of the posterior commissure and the medial pretectal nucleus, whereas other pretectal nuclei tend to be avoided by anterograde labeling (Fig. 5K,L).
Canteras N.S & Goto M., 1999
General description technique/protocol: In five experiments, the PHA-L injection labeled neurons that were confined almost entirely to the PRC. In all of these experiments, a very similar pattern of anterogradely labeled fibers was observed, and of these, we choose experiment PRC11 (Figs. 4, 5) as a prototype to illustrate our results, because the injection in that experiment labeled the most extensive population of cells in the PRC
