Abstract
The oculomotor nerves (3rd, 4th and 6th) of some species of fish and mammal s have been studied to establish the presence, number, true topography and probable functional role of the ganglion cells located along the trunk. The finding of typical pseudo-unipolar ganglion cells is always unpredictable and extremely variable, from an inter- and intra-specific point of view, in members of the two zoological classes studied.
