Preoptic projections of the BSTp.AVPV, The distribution of DiI-labeled fibers (short lines) at the level of the AVPV in male rats perfused on postnatal days 4 (P4), 7 (P7), 9 (P9), and 10 (P10) was plotted onto a standard series of drawings derived from thionin-stained sections through the preoptic region of a 10-d-old male rat. Retrogradely labeled neurons have been omitted for clarity. Thedark gray region in the BST represents the area of DiI diffusion from the implant site. 3V, Third ventricle;aco, anterior commissure; adBST, anterodorsal nucleus of the BST; ADP, anterodorsal preoptic nucleus; avBST, anteroventral nucleus of the BST; AVP, anteroventral preoptic nucleus;AVPV, anteroventral periventricular nucleus;CP, caudoputamen; LPO, lateral preoptic area; LSv, lateral septal nucleus, ventral part;LV, lateral ventricle; MaPO, magnocellular preoptic nucleus; MePO, median preoptic nucleus; MPO, medial preoptic area; MS, medial septum; opt, optic tract; PS, parastrial nucleus.
