Case pg351,352, fig5a-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 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.

In the preoptic regions, relatively sparse numbers of marked cells were observed in the median preoptic, anteroventral periventricular, medial preoptic, anterodorsal preoptic, anteroventral preoptic, and parastrial nuclei, as well as in the undifferentiated part of the medial preoptic area. In addition, a very few retrogradely labeled neurons were noted in the lateral preoptic area (Fig. 3C-F).

...labeled fibers course preferentially through ventrolateral regions of the pontine reticular nucleus, where they generate substantial numbers of varicosities and boutons (Fig. 5O–Q).
