The rostral organ of the coelacanth or similar in many other fish such as Anchovy is a large gel-filled cavity in the snout, with three pairs of canals to the outside. [ 1 ] It is surrounded by an insulating layer of adipose tissue and innervated by the superficial ophthalmic nerve .
In the anatomy of the brain of vertebrates, the forebrain or prosencephalon is the rostral (forward-most) portion of the brain.The forebrain controls body temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping, and the display of emotions.
In the rostral direction, the midbrain noticeably splays laterally. The midbrain is typically sectioned axially at either the superior or inferior colliculi levels. Visualizing these cross-sections as an upside-down bear face helps remember its structures, with the peduncles forming ears, aqueducts mouth, and tectum chin.
BA10 was originally defined broadly in terms of its cytoarchitectonic traits as they were observed in the brains of cadavers, but because modern functional imaging cannot precisely identify these boundaries, the terms anterior prefrontal cortex, rostral prefrontal cortex and frontopolar prefrontal cortex are used to refer to the area in the ...
The primary sensory neurons of these central axons are in the cranial nerve ganglia of each respective cranial nerve. To produce the sense of taste, these neurons project to the gustatory nucleus, or the rostral and lateral regions of the nucleus of the solitary tract, and are ultimately projected to the cerebral cortex.

The locus coeruleus is the major source of noradrenergic innervation in the brain and sends widespread connections to rostral (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus) and caudal (cerebellum, brainstem nuclei) brain areas [24] and. [25] Indeed, an alteration of this structure could contribute to several symptoms observed in MECP2-deficient mice.
In anatomy and zoology, the cortex (pl.: cortices) is the outermost, otherwise known as superficial, layer of an organ. Organs with well-defined cortical layers include kidneys , adrenal glands , ovaries , the thymus , and portions of the brain , including the cerebral cortex , the best-known of all cortices.
