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 pg155, fig11. Soma notes Within the AV & AD, the relatively few FB labeled neurons were dimly fluorescent and they were situated in the rostral and dorsal portions of each nucleus. Terminal notes The results in rat CF270 demonstrate the pattern of thalamic projections to the caudal Rag cortex. The 20nl injection of FB was confined to Rag approx 1mm caudal to the splenium of the corpus callosum.

Case pg181, fig6. Soma notes In both of these cases labeled cells within the anterior thalamic nuclei were concentrated primarily in the AV and were found to a lesser extent in AD & AM --Fig6: moderate-. Terminal notes Injections of HRP were placed at various rostrocaudal levels within the dorsal dysgranular subdivision of retrosplenial cortex (area 29d) in 10 cases. fig6 presents results of 2 cases with injections in anterior and posterior portions of 29d.
