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 pg148, fig5. Soma notes In AV most labelled neurons were confined to the ventral 1/3 & were present in both parvo- and magnocellular subnuclei. There was a slight ros to cau preference shift, ros: more cells in parv. cau: more cells in magn.. Terminal notes a 50nl inj of FB was placed into the ant. retroplenial granular a & b cortex. The inj. extended up to but did not appear encroach on the corpus callosum or the deep white matter. extends approx 0.5-2.0mm cau to ant border of Rgb. No spill into agran RSP.
