Localization of choline acetyltransferase and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactivity in the nervus terminalis of the fetal and neonatal rat. 1986

M Schwanzel-Fukuda, and J I Morrell, and D W Pfaff

Ganglia of the nervus terminalis have been shown to contain luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) immunoreactive cells in several mammalian species. These cells are always accompanied by clusters of cells non-immunoreactive to antiserum to LHRH. Using immunocytochemical procedures, we found choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) present in cell bodies and in nerve processes throughout the peripheral, intracranial and central projections of the nervus terminalis. In addition, a dense plexus of substance P (SP) immunoreactive fibers was seen in the nasal mucosa surrounding the nasal glandular acini and blood vessels. A number of SP reactive fibers were traced with the olfactory nerves through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and appeared to enter the brain in the area of the central roots of the nervus terminalis.

D009830 Olfactory Bulb Ovoid body resting on the CRIBRIFORM PLATE of the ethmoid bone where the OLFACTORY NERVE terminates. The olfactory bulb contains several types of nerve cells including the mitral cells, on whose DENDRITES the olfactory nerve synapses, forming the olfactory glomeruli. The accessory olfactory bulb, which receives the projection from the VOMERONASAL ORGAN via the vomeronasal nerve, is also included here.
