TS22: nasal mesenchyme hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron Present Regionally restricted 3B Ectopic GnRH neurons were detected in the nasal mesenchyme at the level of the cribriform plate.
TS22: head hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron Present Regionally restricted 3B , 3B' The majority of immunolabeled migrating GnRH neurons did not enter the forebrain in the mutant. Ectopic neurons were identified in the tissue distal to the normal forebrain entry point, they were outside the brain and adjacent to the meninges. Cell counts indicated the mutant contained a normal number of GnRH neurons overall.
