Retina	Paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus	moderate	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	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.
