Forebrain and brainstem afferents projecting to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) were demonstrated in male rats by retrograde transport of fluorescent dye, fast blue, microinjected in IPN, followed by intraventricular colchicine 48 h prior to perfusion. The most intensely labeled cells projecting to IPN were concentrated throughout the entire rostrocaudal extent of the medial habenular nuclei. A small number of labeled medial habenular cells located dorsomedially also revealed SP [substance P] immunofluorescence. Additional forebrain afferents originate from septal, hypothalamic and mammillary nuclei. Of brainstem afferents projecting to IPN, the most intensely labeled neurons were present in a circumscribed region overlying the dorsal aspect of the dorsal tegmental nucleus, an area described in the cat as the nucleus incertus. Many labeled cells in the medial aspect of this nucleus also revealed L-ENK [leu-enkephalin] immunofluorescence. Additional afferents include the raphe, dorsolateral tegmental nuclei and locus coeruleus. Both forebrain and brainstem afferents project to IPN. There are and L-ENK projections from the medial habenula and nucleus incertus, respectively.
