Support information about direct projections from Retina to Anterior hypothalamic area:

Sending structure	Receiving structure	Strength of projection	Type of connection	Technique	General description	Collator	Associated reference
Retina	Anterior hypothalamic area	moderate/strong	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	Case pg308, fig12,15. Soma notes 2 adult male hooded rats and 5 adult male albino rats were used. each received an injection of CT-HRP into the posterior chamber of the eye.. Terminal notes retinohypothalamic tract 3 components: 2) extension of SCN axonal plexus into the AHA and the RCA. this is sparse rostrally and grows increasingly dense caudally, where it extends to a wide zone caudal to the SCN including AHA and RCA.		Johnson RF, Morin LP, Moore RY., 1988
Retina	Anterior hypothalamic area	moderate	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	Case pg348,350, fig3k-p. 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 Medial component of the RHT swept dorsally throught the central part of the anterior hypothalamic area where it began to disperse. terminals evident in med. anterior and central anterior hypothalamic areas..

Anterior hypothalamic area	Arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus	exists	not known	fluorescent tracers	Case pg239-40. Soma notes true blue labeled neurons were seen in the anterior magnocellular, posterior magnocellular and periventricular parts of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, as well as in the anterior hypothalamic area.. Terminal notes Expt E9 had a small crystal centred more caudally (than E38) in the area lateral to the arcuate nucleus & median eminence..		Watts AG, Swanson LW., 1987
