Case pg351, fig5a-e. 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 Terminal label evident throughout the anteroventral preoptic nucleus..

From the injection site, a small contingent of fibers is directed medially into the septum, where they terminate in the medial part of the intermediate lateral septal nucleus (Fig. 2D). Collator note: terminal field in the medial LSr, following the border with the medial septal nucleus. See Fig. 2D, Swanson Atlas Levels 15-16.
