Table 5. % Total Labeling.

Table illustrating percent of total labeling present in structures following injections of cholera toxin β subunit into the ventral tegmental area, rostromedial tegmental nucleus and lateral habenula. Structures are those given in Fig. 3 and Table 4. Values are means± SEM reflecting % of total labeling from 3 cases. Values from 1.125 to 2.499 are italicized; values from 2.5 to 4.999 are italicized and bolded, values above 5.0 are italicized, bolded and underlined.
