At the anterior hypothalamic level, ascending fibers coursing through the hypothalamus supply dense inputs to the anterior hypothalamic nucleus, subparaventricular zone, rostral retrochiasmatic area, and perifornical region of the lateral hypothalamic area in addition to a relatively sparse input to the other regions of the lateral hypothalamic area (Figs. 5D–G, 6B).

Proceeding rostrally, large numbers of fibers from the PRC reach the preoptic region, where they appear to provide a dense input to the lateral preoptic area in addition to a sparse input to the anteroventral preoptic nucleus (Fig. 5B,C).
