Ontogeny and distribution of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal systems in the brain of the cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus

Using immunocytochemistry we have described the distribution and ontogeny of three distinct gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neural systems, emphasizing the analysis during the period of sex differentiation in the South American cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus. In the forebrain a group of neuro...

In the forebrain a group of neurones immunoreactive to salmon GnRH that formed clusters in the nucleus olfacto retinalis (NOR), was located at the junction of the olfactory bulb and the telencephalon. These neurones differentiated 3 days after fertilization from the olfactory placodes. GnRH immunoreactive neurones along the olfactory nerves through the rostrobasal olfactory bulb were observed on day 4 and at the NOR on day 10. A group of neurones immunoreactive to chicken GnRH II was seen in the dorsal midbrain tegmentum. They originate from the ventricular ependyma between days 5 and 6. These neurones remained close to blood vessels throughout development. Between days 22 and 30 a group of neurones immunoreactive to seabream GnRH was detected in the anterior basal preoptic area. GnRH innervation of the pituitary was detected after the differentiation of preoptic neurones and in coincidence with gonadal differentiation. We hypothesize that the GnRH neural systems have three distinct embryonic origins. Furthermore, we show that the NOR and the midbrain GnRH neurones might have functions other than gonadal development, whereas the preoptic GnRH neurones in C. dimerus might be associated with gonadal sex differentiation. 2002 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_03402061_v205_n4_p271_Pandolfi http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_03402061_v205_n4_p271_Pandolfi
