Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-expressing cells in the nasal septum of human fetuses
Abstract
In 12-19 weeks old human fetuses, LHRH-immunoreactive (LHRH-Ir) cells were detected in the nerve fascicles arising from the vomeronasal organ (VNO), from their origin to their end point at the medial aspect of the olfactory bulb (vomeronasal and/or terminal nerves). In one 22-weeks-old fetus, LHRH-Ir cells were present only in the upper part of the nasal septum, in the nerve fascicles crossing the cribriform plate. No LHRH cells could be detected in two fetuses, 23 and 36 weeks old. Our results are discussed with regard to the migratory hypothesis of LHRH cells from the medial olfactory placode to the brain.

The human embryonic VNO contains bipolar cells similar to the developing vomeronasal sensory neurons of other species and also generates LHRH-producing cells as in other species.
“It contains bipolar cells similar to the developing vomeronasal sensory neurons of other species and also generates luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH)producing cells as in other species (Boehm et al., 1994;Kajer and Fischer Hansen, 1996).”

The nervus terminalis appears to be the pathway for migration of LHRH (GnRH) neurons into the brain from the olfactory/vomeronasal epithelium early in development, in humans as in other species.
“The nerve appears to be the pathway for migration of LHRH (GnRH) neurons into the brain from the olfactory/vomeronasal epithelium early in development, in humans as in other species (Schwanzel-Fukuda and Pfaff, 1989;Ronkliev and Resko, 1990;Boehm et al., 1994).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
