The olfactory placode ofXenopus laevislarvae at different stages of development has been removed and transplanted onto the head of host larvae to determine the effect of the donor/host age on the viability of the transplant. Viability of the transplant (defined as penetration of the nerve of the transplanted placode in the host's CNS) has been found to be maximal when both donor and host were at about stage29/30. Using stage 29/30 larvae, three distinct zones have been mapped on the host's head from which the transplanted olfactory placode consistently sent its nerve to three different regions of the brain, namely to the telencephalon, the diencephalon and to the myelencephalon, respectively. The additional olfactory input induced a hypertrophy where it penetrated the telencephalon. When the olfactory input penetrated the diencephalon a marked hyperplasia of the neuronal elements and formation of glomeruli was observed in the dorsal thalamus. There was no overall change in the organization of the myelencephalon when the input reached this region. Donors up to and including stage 41 remade the placode. Removal of the placode after this stage resulted in permanent loss of the organ and hypoplasia of the olfactory bulb and telencephalon.The results illustrate the unique property of the olfactory sensory neurons to induce hyperplasia in anomalous regions of the host's CNS and to determine, in these regions, the characteristic terminal structures which are commonly described as glomeruli.
