Case pg351, fig5. 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 Finally, the medial aspect of the preoptic horizontal limb of the diagonal band also received a projection terminal label at these more caudal levels continued to be evident in the nuc of the hor. limb of the diagonal band of Broca.
