Origin and migration of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons in mammals
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons are unique among hypothalamic neurons in that they originate outside of the central nervous system. In most vertebrates, LHRH-immunoreactive (-ir) neurons are detected in the epithelium of the medial olfactory pit soon after its formation. The LHRH-ir neurons migrate out of the placodal epithelium and into the brain along a migration route that consists of the...
