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..

Case pg960, fig2A. Soma notes Injections larely limited to IL (5 cases) strongly labeled cells in reuniens, rhomboid, paraventricular, medial MD nuclei & sometimes labeled cells in parataenial nucleus. Terminal notes All IL injs (FB) included the dorsal peduncular cortex to varying degrees. Some also included nearaby subcortical structures. Injs largely limited to IL (n=5).

Case pg961, fig4. Soma notes RHS of thalamus had many cells in Re & MDm & very few cells in parataenial, centromedial & rhomboid nuc. LHS had many cells in paracentral, centromedial, Re, rhomboid nuc. & throughout medlat extent of MD. Terminal notes In one IL injection, site on right side limited to layers 1 & 2 of IL, while left side also included deeper layers of IL as well as a small part of anterior cingulate cortex..

[...] 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.
