Fig. 12.

Color-coded density maps of the distribution of labeling in the three defined parts of the VCLL, dorsal, middle, and ventral thirds, in each of the high-, middle-, and low-frequency cases. The reference lines at the top and bottomindicate the tentative orientation of the larger diameter in the cross-sections. From dorsal to ventral, the angle of the reference lines shifts ∼30° (from a rostral-to-caudal orientation dorsally, to a rostromedial-to-caudolateral orientation ventrally). The maps show a tendency for a banded distribution, most prominent in the ventral and middle thirds. Several shapes are visible, e.g., U-shaped bands and finger-like extensions in the middle- and low-frequency cases. Presentation is otherwise as in Figure 7D–F. Scale bar, 500 mm. M, Medial; R, rostral.
