Nucleus of the tractus solitarius projections to the olfactory tubercle: an HRP study.
Labelled cells were found in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) after horseradish peroxidase injections in the olfactory tubercle (OT) of the rat. These results suggest a direct pathway from the NTS to the OT. The importance of this pathway in a neural circuit related to autonomic functions is discussed.
