Preferred Label : terminal nerve;
Uberon definition : The terminal nerve, located anterior to cranial nerve I, is comprised of a group of
cells with somata adjacent to the olfactory bulb and processes that extend anteriorly
to the olfactory epithelium and posteriorly to the telencephalon. In teleost fish
an additional group of axons extends along the optic tract and delivers putative neuromodulators
to the retina. It is thought to develop from cranial neural crest.;
Uberon synonym : cranial nerve 0; terminalis nerve; cranial nerve zero; nervus terminalis;
