Figure 3C

Photomicrograph of a frontal section counterstained with neutral red at the level of the Bar and the peri-5Me just medial to the Me5. Numerous retrogradely labeled cells are clustered in the peri-5Me. These neurons were stained after a CTb injection in the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus.
