Neuroanatomy of Two Species of Genus Myliobatis (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatoidea)
SUMMARY: Several studies on the elasmobranchs neuroanatomy have shown that their brain is more complex than previously thought, and had significant intra and interspecific variations. The objective of this work was conducting a comparative encephalic neuroanatomy study of two species of genus Myliob...

The objective of this work was conducting a comparative encephalic neuroanatomy study of two species of genus Myliobatis.

It was observed that, despite the morphology of M. californica and M. longirostris is similar, there are some significant differences. Both species have moderate foliation, but M. californica has more sulci. In the diencephalon of M. californica, it was observed that the lobes of the infundibulum are oval-shaped and separated, while in M. longirostris, such lobes are rounded and near the medium line.
