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, with the greatest concentration of cells lying in the anterior hypothalamic area.. Terminal notes Expt E30 involved a crystal implant in the parataenial nucleus of the thalamus.

A few retrogradely labeled cells were found in the dorsal and ventral thalamus, in which scattered marked neurons were observed consistently in the rostral part of the paraventricular nucleus (Fig. 3E), parataenial nucleus (Fig. 3E), peripeduncular nucleus (Fig. 3M), and rostral pole of the zona incerta (Fig. 3H–J).
