supraoptic crest
One of the circumventricular organs of the brain. The OVLT is outside the blood brain barrier, and so neurons in this region can respond to factors that are present in the systemic circulation.
Exact Synonyms
organum vasculosum lamina terminalis
organum vasculosum laminae terminalis

prechiasmatic gland
vascular organ of lamina terminalis
Related Synonyms
