Retina	Anterodorsal nucleus of the thalamus	exists	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	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.).

Anterodorsal nucleus of the thalamus	Ectorhinal area	moderate	not known	HRP	Case pg184, fig16. Soma notes In the thalamus labeled cells are found in the ?nucleus anterior dorsalis. Terminal notes An (HRP) injection placed more posterodorsally in the postrhinal area.		Deacon TW, Eichenbaum H, Rosenberg P, Eckmann KW., 1983
