Case pg348, fig2. Soma notes 36 female Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-350g. 10 microliters of CT-HRP(.20%-.40%) were injected into one eye ?behind the lens into the vitreous chamber of the eye. pressure injection over 1 min. Terminal notes Medial component of the RHT: a few fibres were seen in the PVN in some rats but this label was not consistently evident.

Case pg239-40. Soma notes true blue labeled neurons were seen in the anterior magnocellular, posterior magnocellular and periventricular parts of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, as well as in the anterior hypothalamic area.. Terminal notes Expt E9 had a small crystal centred more caudally (than E38) in the area lateral to the arcuate nucleus & median eminence..
