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. 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.		Levine JD, Weiss ML, Rosenwasser AM, Miselis RR., 1991

Periaqueductal gray	Substantia nigra compact part	moderate	not known	HRP	Case pg109, table1, fig1. Soma notes In addition moderate bilateral label is observed in the VTRZ, the nucleus parabrachialis pigmentosus and paranigralis and the compact part of the substantia nigra. Terminal notes The supraoculomotor portion of the periaqueductal gray, has been injected (HRP) in 3 rabbits & 1 rat. In all 4 cases the supraocmot/PAG has been successfully injected with minimal spread to the adjacent occulomotor nucleus..		Giolli RA, Blanks RH, Torigoe Y, Williams DD., 1985
