title: Study on the formation of neural network in the tongue of Gallus domesticus (White Leghorn) as revealed by cholinesterase technique.
abstract: The neural network in the tongue of Gallus domesticus was visualized using a cholinesterase technique. The network of acetylcholinesterase positive nerve fibres was formed by the tortuous myelinated as well as non-myelinated, preganglionic and postganglionic nerve fibres. The network was closely associated with a chain of acetylcholinesterase positive ganglia, the nerve fibres of the fungiform, filiform, circumvallate and foliate papillae and with the fibres of the neural terminal network.
