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	Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus	light	not known	PHAL	Case pg233-4. Soma notes PHA-L inj. Terminal notes dense terminal plexuses in dorsomedial parts.		Simerly RB, Swanson LW., 1988
Anterior hypothalamic area	Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus	moderate	not known	fluorescent tracers	Case pg238, fig6. Soma notes retrogradely labeled cells filled medial preoptic area & anterior hypothalamic area .. Terminal notes Two crystal were placed in the area of the ventromedial nucleus. The inj in expt E38 was centred dorsolaterally in VMH, tracer spread to fill nucleus & caudal parts of anterior hypothalamic area as well. Dye did not extend rostrally into SBPV / ARH / ME..
