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 ?sparse labeling marks prelimbic, ventral agranular insular & ventrolateral orbital areas. 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..

Case pg345, fig5-9. Soma notes retrogradely labeled neurons found in lateral part of MD in all experiments. However, different gradients were found in distribution of these cells along rostro-caudal axis of the MDL. Terminal notes In case 43, TB inj centered in rostral & ventral part of PL area but might have involved dorsal part of infralimbic area.
