Location of tissue punches illustrated in one, coronal hemisphere of a starling brain. Punches were taken bilaterally from Area X and VTA. For mPOA a single central punch was collected. Sections progress rostrally to caudally from A–C. Approximate punch sizes and locations are represented by circles centered in Area X and mPOA (1.25 mm diameter) and VTA (0.75 mm diameter). Abbreviations listed alphabetically: A = arcopallium; Cb = cerebellum; CO = optic chiasm; CoA = anterior commissure; GP = globus pallidus; HP = hippocampus; HVC = used as a proper name; ICo = nucleus intercollicularis; LS = lateral septum; LSt = lateral striatum; MMAN = medial magnocellular nucleus of anterior nidopallium; MSt = medial striatum N = nidopallium; NIII = 3rd cranial nerve; PAG = periaqueductal gray; PVN = periventricular nucleus; Rt = nucleus rotundus; v = ventricle; VMN = ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.
