In detail, angiotensin II binding sites were found in the anterodorsal nucleus, in the laterodorsal and posterior nucleus of the thalamus, as well as in the lateral geniculate nucleus, the reticular thalamic nucleus and in the zona incerta.. 
The ventral nucleus has a high density of parvalbumin cells and few calbindin cells, and the anterodorsal nucleus has a high density of parvalbumin cells and moderate numbers of calbindin cells.
Axons from the anterodorsal nucleus occupied the rostralmost tip of both inner and outer zones of the dorsal limbic sector.
They are also transiently coexpressed in principal neurons of the anterodorsal nucleus, but IGF-I mRNA disappears from this structure shortly after birth, while IGFBP5 mRNA remains highly abundant here in the adult.
At the level of the anterior nuclear group, GABA-positive cells and terminals abounded in the anterodorsal nucleus but were much less numerous in the anteromedial and anteroventral nuclei.
The anterodorsal nucleus has regressed into a small, flattened cap-line structure covering the dorsal surface of the anteroventral nucleus.
