Abstract
1. GnRH neurons migrate from olfactory placode into the developing bas al forebrain in a manner which appears remarkably constant across all vertebrates studied, from fish to human beings. 2. Interruption of thi s migration can result in Kallmann's Syndrome. Absence of libido by in dividuals suffering from Kallmann's has allowed us to chart a causal r oute from a specific gene to a human social behavior.
