Collective view showing that anterogradely labeled fibers from the BSTL (a–d) and CeN (a’–d’) injections terminate mainly over the dorsal tier neurons with some encroachment on the A9 (ventral tier) neurons (gray). Photomicrographs show representative tracer injections in the BSTL (J28LY) and the CeN (J1FR) with adjacent sections labeled for either somatostatin (J28SST) or TH (J1TH) to localize relative injection site placement within nuclear subdivisions. FR, fluororuby conjugated to dextran amine; FS, fluorescein conjugated to dextran amine; LY, Lucifer yellow conjugated to dextran amine. Scale bar, 500 μm.
