Regenerating neurosecretory fibers were traced in 150-day post-hypophysectomized catfish, H. fossilis. The regenerated neurosecretory fibers reorganized into a neurohypophysis-like structure, as well as extending several neurosecretory fibers into the epithelium of the saccus vasculosus, and a few into its lumen. This circumventricular organ may serve as a cellular bridge between CSF and the vascular system.
