Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS of the innervation of the eel pituitary with the light microscope demonstrated in the pars distalis a few nerve fibres which stained with the Gomori technique and many others which did not1. The latter, which appeared to originate in the nucleus lateralis tuberis, do not seem to stain with any of the common ‘neurosecretory’ stains2, and therefore under the light microscope the degree of neurosecretory control of the pars distalis appears to be slight.
