Figure 7C

Photomicrograph showing terminal-like dot labeling in the nuclear core of the LC after a CTb injection in the perifornical nucleus dorsal to the fornix at the level of the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus. Note the presence of numerous retrogradely labeled cells localized just medially to the LC. A few cells are localized in the LC proper.
