Lat component diffuse labeling in the lateroanterior hypothalamic nucleus was evident.

These axons branch and generate considerable boutons in caudolateral regions of the substantia nigra and adjacent regions of the mesencephalic reticular nucleus (Fig. 6W), in the retrorubral area (Fig. 6X,Y), and in caudodorsal regions of the mesencephalic reticular nucleus (Fig. 6Z,AA).
