An extraordinary development of the paired medullary facial taste nuclei, the facial lobes, occurs in the sea catfish, Plotosus lineatus. Each of the facial lobes is divided by fiber fascicles into 5 highly distinct lobules or subnuclei, constituting 5 longitudinal columns through the lobe. Extracellular, electrophysiological recordings of neurons within the respective subnuclei of the facial lobe indicate superimposable taste and tactile neural maps organized in a somatotopic manner.
海鲶鱼（Plotosus lineatus）的成对延髓面部味觉核——面神经叶出现了非凡的发育。每个面神经叶被纤维束分成5个高度不同的小叶或亚核，在整个叶中构成5个纵列。对面神经叶各亚核内神经元的细胞外电生理记录表明，味觉和触觉神经图谱以躯体定位的方式叠加排列。
