Abstract:
After injecting the posterior pituitery of the albino rats with cholera-toxinconjugated HRP,retrogradely labeled neurons were found in the area of the bednuclei of the stria terminalis (BST),which were then analyzed,based on therecent cytoarchitectonical study of the BST.In the anterior subdivision of the BSTdendrites could be seen in the parastrial nucleus with a few labeled cells surround-ing it;cells of the magnocellular nucleus were found scattered in the subdivision;some labeled cells were also identified in the ventral nucleus.Surrounding the dor-sal half of the posterior division of the BST there were several fairly distinct labe-led cell groups,viz.,the anterior fornical nucleus,medial and lateral dorsal accessorygroups,and the subinterventricular group.Though these cell groups are contiguouswith the BST,they do not seem to belong to the BST itself,but their dendritesoften extend into the posterior division of the BST,thus sharing some commonafferents with the latter.A few less constant cells were sometimes seen scattered invarious parts of the BST.
