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

Paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus	Paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus	light	not known	fluorescent tracers	Case pg237, fig6,7. Soma notes True blue labeled cells completely surrounded the region of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in E30. The number of true blue-labeled cells lower in E33, but such cells seen in AHA & strikingly in periventricular part of PVH. Terminal notes Expt E33 involved a smaller liquid injection (than E30) in the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus.		Watts AG, Swanson LW., 1987
