Abstract
The paper presents comparative data related to distribution and locali sation of NO synthase (NOS)-containing neurones in the amphibian CNS. It was found that the frog brain contains NOS-positive neurones in the forebrain, central part of the lobus opticus and medulla oblongata. T he results suggest that NO is involved, as neuronal messenger, in inte rcellular communication in various regions of the frog brain.
