Subdivisions of the terminal nerve in Xenopus laevis.

Hofmann MH , Meyer DL .


???displayArticle.abstract???
The majority of recent studies on the terminal nerve (nt) in various vertebrates either involved tracer injections into the nasal cavity or made use of the LHRH-/FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity (ir) of a portion of its fibers. The present investigation was designed to determine the extent of overlap between data rendered by the two methods in Xenopus. The findings reveal no overlap of nt projections visualized by the two experimental techniques. This result sheds doubt on the validity of current definitions of the nt system.
