BRANCHIOSTOMA-KOLLICKER'S PIT

It is a depression of ciliated ectodermal cells on the roof in the anterior region of cerebral vesicle. The area where larval neuropore closes when the adult neural tube is formed. It lacks sensory cells but it is considered anolfacrory chaemoreceptor due to its position corresponding with the single nostril of cyclostomes.
