The nervus terminalis in larval and adult Xenopus laevis.

Hofmann MH , Meyer DL .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Nervus terminalis (nt) projections were studied by HRP injections into one nostril in adult Xenopus and in Xenopus tadpoles. Central nt targets are: medial septum, preoptic nucleus, nucleus of the anterior commissure, and hypothalamus (mainly ipsilaterally). In Xenopus tadpoles, additional fibers reach the ipsilateral dorsal thalamus and the mesencephalic tegmentum, bilaterally; furthermore, hypothalamic projections are bilateral. Xenopus tadpole nt connections resemble those of adult urodeles more closely than the projections of frogs. However, Xenopus tadpoles lack nt innervation of the medial septum.
