Retina	Medial preoptic nucleus	light/moderate	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	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 p134: in 12 animals injected with HRP into superficial layers and in most cases deep layers, in some animals small spread into the dorsal portion of teh midbrain reticular formation and the periaqueductal gray ipsilaterally..

Intergeniculate leaflet of the lateral geniculate complex	Lateral hypothalamic area	moderate	not known	PHAL	Case pg59. Soma notes PHA-L was injected iontophoretically into 35 adult male Wistar rats. Terminal notes Injections involving the intergeniculate leaflet gave rise to a substantial number of fibres to the hypothalamus. In the LHA, innervation was mostly concentrated in the rostral and ventromedial parts. Small number of contra LHA.		Mikkelsen JD., 1990
