RetinaSuprachiasmatic nucleus strongnot knownCholera toxin conjugated to HRP
Case pg307-308, fig12. 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: 1) largest is innervation of SCN. Rostral SCN: a very dense band of terminals at border of SCN and optic chiasm, Mid SCN: most of ven.lat. component of nuc filled with dense terminal plexus, remainder less dense.

Case pg348,349-50, fi3,6. 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 RHTa) inbtwn 2 SCNs under v3, b) ven. lat. to SCN, appear to cradle it high density of terminal labeling in and around SCN. (ven.lat. parts of ros. SCN, venlat. dorlat. parts of cau. SCN.) dormed. subncl of SCN largely spared..

RetinaSuprachiasmatic nucleus moderate/strongnot knownautoradiography
Case pg3, fig1. Soma notes 30 animals used for autoradiography study. Each received 1 injection of either L-leucine-3H or L-proline-3H into the posterior chamber of one eye. Terminal notes The autoradiographic material provided substantial evidence for a retinohypothalamic tract. The hypothalamic nuclei themselves were free of labelling save for the suprachiasmatic nucleus, both ipsi and contra, especially in ventral 1/2.

Case pg240. Soma notes In both expts (E50 & E48), many true blue labeled cells were seen in the vicinity of the SCh, although density was not as great as that following injections in PVH. Density greater in perinuclear regions. Only a very few cellss lay within nucleus itself.. Terminal notes the centre of implant in expt E50 was situated immediately lateral to the dorsomedial nucleus, but dye was found to spread into most of DMH & into adj parts of zona incerta..

Case pg208,213,221, fig3NO. Soma notes 3 PHA-L injs were virtually limited to the SCh, with less than 5% of labeled neurons outside boundaries of nucleus itself. Injs A7 & A54 tended to label cells in ventral part of nucleus, while inj A25 extended more dorsally. Terminal notes 5th Pway. Fibres form a moderately dense plexus within dorsomedial nucleus of hypothalamus & in relatively cell sparse zone dorsal & medial to the ventromedial nucleus. Fibres tend to be thick/vaaicose, often branched & display terminal boutons..
