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.

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.
