Note: Localization of teleost, liquor contacting neurons seems to be  different 
then mammals.  Seem to be only in brain in teleost. Rats have them in central 
canal (spinal cord). 

In teleost they seem to be catecholaminergic neurons, possibly dopamanergic 
neurons.  Express thyrosine hydroxylase (th or th2 gene).
