Case pg348,349, 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 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 ventral part of the medial preoptic nucleus.

Terminal notes In 10 expts, pregenual field injecte with either true blue (9) or bisbenzimide (1); in several brains 2 large injection of true blue were made, to label maximally terminal field.

[...] principal target was the lateral hypothalamic area, in particular its ventrolateral and perifornical regions (Figs. 3D-G, 5C,D). Although innervation of the anterior part of the lateral hypothalamic area was scant, varicose fibers running in a mediolateral direction were prominent in the retrochiasmatic area.
