“…If we take into account the comparatively late intrauterine appearance of the SFO, and its persistence during the whole of life, we can conclude that it does not become functionally mature until after birth and that it remains indispensable in postnatal life. In fact, drinking behavior and control of thirst, which are usually related to the SFO (Simpson and Routtenberg, 1973;Nermo-Lindquist et al, 1990) are probably not necessary during prenatal life.…”

The first appearance and early development of two circumventricular organs, the area postrema (AP) and the subfornical organ (SFO), were investigated in human embryos and fetuses from the 4th to the 40th gestational weeks (GW). The AP appears very early in development, during the GW 10; its high vascularization can be seen from GW14, and differentiated neurons are observed from GW 16. The SFO is characterized by a late onset of development. It can first be distinguished at GW 17, but it does not attain cytological differentiation until the last weeks of gestation. It is suggested that the AP has important functions during fetal life, which are related to normal fetal weight and growth; in contrast the SFO, which is connected with drinking behavior and salt/water balance, seems to play a less essential role in early fetal life.

“…The functions of the SFO are closely connected with the vasopressin, oxytocin, and luteinizing hormone-releasing factors (Swanson et al, 1983;Ferguson, 1988). The SFO plays a role in angiotensine 11-induced drinking and in the centrally mediated pressor response (Mangiapane and Simpson, 1983;Nermo-Lindquist et al, 1990).…”
