R(Retina) → NDB(Nucleus of the diagonal band)
NDB(Nucleus of the diagonal band) → VTA(Ventral tegmental area)
VTA(Ventral tegmental area) → LHA(Lateral hypothalamic area)

Support information about direct projections from Retina to Nucleus of the diagonal band:

Sending structure	Receiving structure	Strength of projection	Type of connection	Technique	General description	Collator	Associated reference
Retina	Nucleus of the diagonal band	very strong	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	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.
