The presence of a terminal nerve in the avian brain has recently been reported. As the terminal nerve in other classes of vertebrates contains luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), we used immunocytochemistry to determine whether the pigeon terminal nerve also contained LHRH. We found LHRH-immunoreactivity in the olfactory nerve and in the olfactory bulb. The distribution of LHRH neurons was similar to the LHRH neuronal migration pathway during development.
最近有报道称鸟类大脑中存在终神经。由于其他脊椎动物类群的终神经含有促黄体生成素释放激素(LHRH),我们利用免疫细胞化学方法来确定家鸽的终神经是否也含有LHRH。我们在嗅神经和嗅球中发现了LHRH免疫反应性。LHRH神经元的分布与发育过程中LHRH神经元的迁移途径相似。
