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.).

Case pg180, fig5. Soma notes Within anterior thalamic nuclei, labeled cells concentrated in AM although a very few were ound in AD & AV as well. --Fig5: sparse-. Terminal notes 4 injections of HRP were placed in cingulate cortical are 24b. In case illustrated in fig5, inj placed in posterior part of area 24b at lvl of rostral pole of thalamus.
