Cells and fibers containing AVT-ir were found in the medial septal region, lamina terminalis, lateral forebrain bundle, preoptic area, supraoptic nucleus, anterior hypothalamus, paraventricular nucleus, periventricular nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and ventromedial nucleus of the thalamus. Occasional AVT-ir cells were found in the interpeduncular nucleus. Fibers containing AVT-ir were found in the cortex, around the olfactory ventricle, in the diagonal band of Broca, amygdala area, dorsal ventricular ridge, striatum, nucleus accumbens, septum, ventromedial hypothalamus, lateral hypothalamus, medial forebrain bundle, median eminence, pars nervosa, nucleus of the solitary tract, locus coeruleus, cerebellar cortex (granular layer), dorsal part of the nucleus of the lateral lemniscus, substantia nigra, and myelencephalon. The intensity of AVT-ir staining was, in general, greater in males than in females. Comparison of AVT-ir distribution in A. carolinensis with those previously published for other reptilian species revealed species-specific differences in distribution of AVT.
