- Abstract
A detailed anatomy and histological structure of the brain and spinal cord, referring to the central nervous system and special sensory organ, in the short mackerel, Rastrelliger brachysoma, were observed in this study. All specimens revealed that the brain nomenclature in R. brachysoma anatomically consisted of the telencephalon, mesencephalon, diencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon, continued by the spinal cord. Different structures and cell components were observed due to histology and histochemistry studies. The telencephalon of R. brachysoma was less developed, mainly consisting of olfactory lobes and cerebral hemispheres. The largest part, the optic lobe, in the mesencephalon, was observed to have 6 histologically distinct layers; the stratum marginale, stratum opticum, stratum fibroetgricialem, stratum album central, stratum griseum central, and stratum periventriculae, respectively. The diencephalon was situated beneath mesencephalon. The epithalamus, thalamus and hypothalamus were easily observable in this region. The cerebellum in the metencephalon was composed of the corpus and the valvula cerebelli. The last region of the brain was the myelencephalon, which held the medulla oblongata and vagal lobes, before joining the spinal cord. The eye structure, composed of the inner, middle, and external layers, was investigated.
