Retrograde labeling from the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) of female prairie voles. A) Representative injection site of Fluorogold (FG) in the NAcc. B) FG+ cells in the medial dorsal (MD) and paratenial (PT) thalamic nuclei, one of the most heavily stained regions after these NAcc injections. C–D) Arrows indicate double labeled neurons for FG (C) and OT (D) in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. E–F) The arrows indicates a double labeled neurons for FG (E) and OT (F) in the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. Scale bars: A = 200 µm; B = 100 µm; F = 100 µm (valid for C–E). LV = lateral ventricle, ac = anterior commisure, 3V = third ventricle.
