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, 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.

Parataenial nucleusInfralimbic area lightnot knownPHAL
Case pg76, fig2. Soma notes PHA-L was injected in the ?parataenial nuc. --See fig 1 for examples of inj sites, but not for every case-. The diameter of the inj sites varies from 150 to 600u? A very small injection of PHA-L was placed in the parataenial thalamic nucleus.. Terminal notes resulting labelling in medial prefrontal cortex predominantly involves the infralimbic cortical area. Terminal plexus is concentrated in its dorsal part and involves {1,3} and to a lesser extent {5}.

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 LHS of thalamus had fewer cells in periventricular & anteromedial nuclei & very few cells in parataenial nucleus. 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.
