Abstract
Morphologically distinct subsets of mesotelencephalic neurons were sou ght following retrograde transport of Fluoro-Gold from iontophoretic i njections relatively restricted to the medial shell, core or rostral p ole subterritories of the nucleus accumbens. The diameters and lengths of Fluoro-Gold immunolabeled dendrites of medial shell-projecting neu rons were less than those of core and rostral pole-projecting neurons.
