The interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure (IPAC) receives inputs from several autonomic/limbic regions in the forebrain, including the agranular insular cortex, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, the amygdaloid complex, and the lateral hypothalamic area. We sought to identify the distribution of afferent sources to the IPAC and to determine whether these IPAC projection fibers issue collaterals to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the principal relay of primary visceral afferents. Two fluorescent tracers, FluoroGold and FluoroRed, were centered stereotaxically on the IPAC and the NTS on chloral hydrate-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. Although the majority of IPAC and NTS afferents were spatially segregated, small but substantial numbers of dually labeled neurons (three to four cells/section) were observed in the dorsal bank of the posterior agranular insular cortex, exclusively in layer V. Collateral projection neurons were also found in the posterior part of the lateral hypothalamic area (two to six cells/section). The branching projections identified here may represent a potential link between affective or motivated behavior and viscerosensory processing.
