Case pg348, fig2. 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 RHT included labeled fibres and terminals found near the midline finally disapearing in the subparaventricular zone.

Case pg59. Soma notes PHA-L was injected iontophoretically into 35 adult male Wistar rats. Terminal notes Injections involving the intergeniculate leaflet gave rise to a substantial number of fibres to the hypothalamus. In the LHA, innervation was mostly concentrated in the rostral and ventromedial parts. Small number of contra LHA.
