Case pg352. 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 Med. component of the RHT?in addition, labeled fibres and terms were found lateral to the lateral boundary of the SCN, in the lateroanterior hypothalamic nucleus. Lat component diffuse labeling in the lateroanterior hypothalamic nucleus was evident.

Case pg399, fig16,17. Soma notes In all 3 cases anter/retrograde label in prefrontal cortex consistently present in dense pattern in dorsal & ventral anterior cingulate & in medial part of medial precentral cortex.. Terminal notes 3 injections of HRP or WGA-HRP mainly involve the lateral part of MD and variably include the lateral habenula & the central lateral nucleus..
