  • Regional labeling densities were determined by visual inspection of autoradiographic films. Labeling densities are as follows: very dense, +++++; dense, ++++; moderately dense, +++; light, ++; faint, +; and not detectable, 0. Abbreviations: bst, Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; nuc, nucleus; pc, pars compacta.

  • F2-a Labeling restricted to subset of anterior thalamic nuclei.
