From the injection site, a small contingent of fibers is directed medially into the septum, where they terminate in the medial part of the intermediate lateral septal nucleus (Fig. 2D). Collator note: terminal field in the medial LSr, following the border with the medial septal nucleus. See Fig. 2D, Swanson Atlas Levels 15-16.
