Retina	Medial preoptic area	light/moderate	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	Case pg348,349, fig5d-f. 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 included labeled fibres and terminals found near the midline involved the medial half of the medial preoptic area?terminals evident in the anterior medial preoptic area Paper describes a.m.p.a. as separate region .

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 in preoptic region ros. to SCN. lat. component of RHT labeled terminals and fibres within or lateral to the lateral haf of the medial preoptic area. Terminal label evident in ven. 1/2 of the lateral part of the medial preoptic area.		Levine JD, Weiss ML, Rosenwasser AM, Miselis RR., 1991

Medial preoptic area	Paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus	moderate	not known	fluorescent tracers	Case pg236, fig4. Soma notes true blue filled cells were seen throughout the medial preoptic and anterior hypothalamic areas, but greatest concentration was found in SCH, across whole nucleus but max in dorsal part.. Terminal notes In an attempt to obtain maximal retro label in SCh, a large crystal implant of true blue (E24) was placed at lvl of paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus.
