Medial preoptic area	Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis, anterior division, subcommisural zone	moderate	not known	CTB	Fourth, several nuclei of the hypothalamus project to the BSTvl; these inputs originate from the medial preoptic region (Figs. 4D,E, 5C), arcuate nucleus (Figs. 4G�J, 5I), dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (Fig. 4H,I), lateral hypothalamic area (Figs. 4F�L, 7D), parasubthalamic nucleus in the dorsolateral hypothalamus (Figs. 4K,L, 5H), and posterior hypothalamic nucleus (Fig. 4K,L). Collator note: see Figure 4D-E. In Figure 4, the level of the injection site, the entire part of the tissue, which is medial to BSTvl, is labeled more or less uniformly, with a "halo" of intense signal just around the nucleus (BSTdm and fu).
