Distribution of LGN and SCN efferents in the hypothalamus. A–L, Camera lucida drawings of coronal, hypothalamic vibratome sections after immunostaining for PHA-L-filled LGN efferents (blue processes). Redprocesses represent PHA-L-labeled SCN efferents that were superimposed from matching vibratome sections of another experiment (Horvath, 1997).Circles represent neuroendocrine cells immunoreactive for fluorogold. Black filled circles are neuroendocrine cells that were TH-immunoreactive. Sections were taken between 0.2 and −4.3 mm in the anteroposterior axis, the number indicating the distance between the coronal level and bregma.
