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.

Ventral tegmental area	Anteroventral preoptic nucleus	light	not known	fluorescent tracers	Case pg369-71, fig5,7?, table3. Soma notes scattered true blue labeled cells were present in POSC. Preoptic suprachiasmatic region is an ill defined area containing several distinct cell groups in periventricular zone around optic recess & rostral 3rd ventricle.. Terminal notes B1.1 received 0.2u inj of true blue into VTA. Small site included rostral VTA & extended to level of rostral interpeduncular nuc.
