Table 1.
Relative abundance of retrograde and anterograde labeling resulting from three separate experiments of combined cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) and Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHAL) injections within the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) of male rats; two of these were centered within the LHA juxtaparaventricular region (LHAjp, caudal = experiment LHA#22; rostral = experiment LHA#62), the other (experiment LHA#11) was centered within midrostrocaudal levels of the LHA suprafornical region (LHAs) -- listed as “central LHAs” in column title for brevity. The relative abundance of labeling (retrogradely – CTB – labeled neurons or anterogradely – PHAL – labeled fibers) is represented by the following semi-quantitative grading schema: − = absence of labeling; + = very low; ++ = low; +++ = moderate; ++++ = high; +++++ = very high; +++++* = region of highest amount of retrograde labeling for each experiment. Regions that contained PHAL-labeled axons with the appearance of fibers of passage, or regions that contained only a single CTB-labeled neuron, or PHAL-labeled fiber, are not included in the table (for further details see Fig. 4). The brain region hierarchy follows Swanson (2004).
