TI  - Subdivision of the accessory olfactory bulb in the Japanese common toad, Bufo 
      japonicus, revealed by lectin histochemical analysis.
PG  - 395-402
AB  - Lectin binding patterns in the olfactory bulb of the Japanese common toad, Bufo 
      japonicus, were examined using 21 types of lectin. Ten out of 21 lectins, WGA, 
      s-WGA, LEL, STL, DBA, VVA, SJA, RCA-I, PNA, and PHA-L, stained the olfactory 
      nerve, the glomeruli in the main olfactory bulb (MOB), the vomeronasal nerve, and 
      the glomeruli in the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). The binding patterns of LEL, 
      STL, DBA, and PHA-L subdivided AOB glomeruli into rostral and caudal regions, 
      where LEL, STL, and DBA stained the rostral region more intensely than the caudal 
      region, and PHA-L had the opposite effect. Another lectin, BSL-I, stained both 
      AOB glomeruli and the vomeronasal nerve, but not MOB glomeruli or the olfactory 
      nerve. This is the first report of histological subdivision in the AOB of an 
      amphibian, which suggests that the AOB development in Bufo may be unique.
