Fig. 10. Summary indicating the proposed route of migration for the gnrh3
cells of the terminal nerve and the gnrh2 cells of the midbrain. (A)
Terminal nerve gnrh3-expressing cells (arrow) arise from cranial
neural crest and migrate rostrally dorsal to the eye (D, purple arrow, a) to
join the forming olfactory placode (D, red). (B) Midbrain gnrh2 cells
(arrows) lying on either side of the midline (arrowhead) also arise from
cranial neural crest and migrate posterior to the developing eye (D, purple
arrow, b). (C) Hypothalamic GnRH cells (arrows) arise from the anterior
pituitary region [D, orange (see Whitlock
et al., 2003)]. (D) Lateral view of an embryo showing the
migration routes (purple arrows) of cranial neural crest. e, eye.
