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.

CTb-labeled neurons were found in the periventricular and periaqueductal gray matter (Figs. 4J–Q, 7E), midbrain raphe nuclei (Figs. 4M–P, 7E), parabrachial nucleus (Figs. 4R–T, 7F), pre-locus coeruleus nucleus (Figs. 4Q, 7F), NTS (Figs. 4R,S, 7G), and ventrolateral medulla (Fig. 4R).
