On the brain of necturus maculatus

Organization of the Caudal Rhombencephalic Alar Plate of the Ribbed Newt <i>Pleurodeles waltl: </i>Evidence for the Presence of Dorsal Column and Lateral Cervical Nuclei

“…In the present study, the 'nucleus' identified in Pleurodeles waltl as the dorsal column nucleus, together with the LCN, has been demonstrated to give rise to the medial lemniscus. Herrick [1944Herrick [ , 1948 also described ipsilateral fibers from the nucleus of the funiculus dorsalis that would reach the cerebellum through the tracts A and B of Kingsbury [1895]; these would have functions different from those of fibers from the dorsal funicular nucleus that reach the cerebellum through the spinal lemniscus. Although in anurans no equivalents of tracts A and B in urodeles have been described, it is noteworthy that an ipsilateral cerebellar projection from the DCN, ascending dorsal to the descending trigeminal tract together with the spinal primary afferent fibers, was demonstrated in Rana perezi and in Xenopus laevis [González et al, 1984;A.…”

Correlative cyclical changes in the hypophysis and gonads of necturus maculosus Rafinesque. I. The male

“…In common with other amphibia, the infundibulum of Necturus is relatively large and projects backward a considerable distance so that the hypophysis lies on the ventral surface of the brain below the mesencephalon (Kingsbury, 1895). It is longest (about 3 mm.)…”

Introduction to the anatomy and function of the nervus terminalis

“…Fritsch (1878) first described an "ü berzähliger Nerv" (supernumerary nerve) in Galeus canis, the smooth dogfish. Kingsbury (1895) observed a small bundle of fibers in the region caudal to the olfactory bulbs of the mudpuppy. He called this the "diencephalic olfactory tract."…”
