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.

[...] principal target was the lateral hypothalamic area, in particular its ventrolateral and perifornical regions (Figs. 3D-G, 5C,D). Although innervation of the anterior part of the lateral hypothalamic area was scant, varicose fibers running in a mediolateral direction were prominent in the retrochiasmatic area.
