The development of the oculomotor nucleus in five species of salamanders and one anuran species was investigated with tracing techniques. The data presented support the hypothesis that oculomotor motoneurons innervating the superior rectus muscle migrate across the midline. In the salamander Pleurodeles waltl, only ipsilateral oculomotor motoneurons are labeled in early development. Later, these neurons extend dendrites toward the contralateral side into the ventral tegmental neuropil, after which there is displacement of their nuclei (neuronal somata) across the midline. Cell bodies can be observed directly at the midline. In adult Salamandra salamandra, motoneurons innervating the superior rectus muscle are seen occasionally at the midline and on the ipsilateral side, with dendrites toward the contralateral side. Motoneurons on the ipsilateral side do not display these features. In Pleurodeles, developmental brain processes are slowed down, and the sequence of development of the contralateral subnucleus, which can be clearly observed, supports the migration hypothesis. In Xenopus laevis and most other species of salamanders this process is accelerated.
