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.

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.

Case pg79. Soma notes Tracer deposits (PHA-L) in the ventral portion of the anterior part of the paraventricular nucleus always inculded the central medial and/or the parataenial nuclei. Terminal notes Excluding cortical fields receiving projections from CM or PT, the ventral part of the agranular cingulate cortex is the only cortical area that receives fibres from the ventral part of the periventricular nucleus but not the dorsal part. {1,5,6}.
