The connections between the terminal nerve and the olfactory system have been extensively studied in human embryos. olfactory nerve fibers enter the brain at stage 17, fibers from the vomeronasal organ and fibers of the terminal nerve enter the brain at stages 17 and 18. [9] During prenatal development some of the ganglion cells are lost. [7]
The lamina terminalis is a thin layer that forms the median portion of the wall of the forebrain.It stretches from the interventricular foramen (foramen of Monro) to the recess at the base of the optic stalk (optic nerve) and contains the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis, which regulates the osmotic concentration of the blood.
Located in the olfactory foramina in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Transmits the sense of smell from the nasal cavity. [3] II Optic: Sensory Retinal ganglion cells: Located in the optic canal. Transmits visual signals from the retina of the eye to the brain. [3] III Oculomotor: Mainly motor Anterior aspect of Midbrain
Axon terminals (also called terminal boutons, synaptic boutons, end-feet, or presynaptic terminals) are distal terminations of the branches of an axon. An axon, also called a nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses called action potentials away from the neuron's cell body to transmit those ...
The numbering of the cranial nerves is based on the order in which they emerge from the brain and brainstem, from front to back. [2] The terminal nerves (0), olfactory nerves (I) and optic nerves (II) emerge from the cerebrum, and the remaining ten pairs arise from the brainstem, which is the lower part of the brain. [3]

The vascular organ of lamina terminalis (VOLT), organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT), or supraoptic crest [1] is a sensory organ, one of the circumventricular organs of the third ventricle within the lamina terminalis.
The stria terminalis (or terminal stria) is a structure in the brain consisting of a band of fibers running along the lateral margin of the ventricular surface of the thalamus. Serving as a major output pathway of the amygdala , the stria terminalis runs from its centromedial division to the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus .
