Case pg353-4. 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 fibres can be seen in stria terminalis coursing rostrally from these more caudal levels. This pathway gives rise to the thalamic label reported earlier (anterior dorsal, anterior ventral thalamic nuc. and bed nuc. of the stria terminalis.).

Within the thalamus, the nucleus reuniens (RE), paratenial nucleus (PT), and ventral anterior-lateral complex (VAL) were densely labeled (Fig. 1L, L).

[…] label is uniformly distributed throughout the most rostral portion of nucleus accumbens, but quickly assumes a lateral position and eventually merges with label in the fundus striati as one proceeds caudally. Collator note: see Fig. 3B, Swanson Atlas

Collator note: small terminal field in the MOs, superficial layers, in the rostralmost part of it. See Fig. 7A, Swanson Atlas Levels 5-6. This is the single case that shows a terminal field in the premotor cortex.
