RetinaAnterior hypothalamic area moderate/strongnot knownCholera 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.

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..

Case pg237, fig6,7. Soma notes True blue labeled cells completely surrounded the region of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in E30. The number of true blue-labeled cells lower in E33, but such cells seen in AHA & strikingly in periventricular part of PVH. Terminal notes Expt E33 involved a smaller liquid injection (than E30) in the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus.

Within the thalamus, labeling was prominent in the parataenial nucleus, the dorsocentral portion of MD, the ventromedial margin of the submedial nucleus, and the medial aspect of the ventromedial nucleus (Fig. 1E-G). Other thalamic nuclei containing labeled cells were the paraventricular, rhomboid and reuniens. Collator note: Swanson Atlas Levels 31-32.
