[...] 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.
