Case pg208,212, fig3N. Soma notes 3 PHA-L injs were virtually limited to the SCh, with less than 5% of labeled neurons outside boundaries of nucleus itself. Injs A7 & A54 tended to label cells in ventral part of nucleus, while inj A25 extended more dorsally. Terminal notes 4th Pway. Very thin fibres occasionally turned dorsally to enter the lateral hypothalamic area although none are seen to run ventrally to enter the amygdala.
