Scarlet Shiner Brain Photo
This morning I was able to sit down and do a dissection on a recently caught scarlet shiner that's been in 10% buffered formaldehyde since last Friday. I wanted to set up a dorsal photo of the brain in situ. And voila, below is the photo. I've labelled the major features of the brain as follows: DM, dorsal medulla; CB, cerebellum; OT, optic tectum; TL, telencephalon; OB, olfactory bulb. The fish's left eye is bisected by the white line descending from OB. For perspective, this fish is 54 mm long (standard length) and weighs 1.865 g. The image was grabbed by a digital dissecting 'scope at 18X magnification.
