Neuroanatomical and Immunohistochemical Insights into the Cerebrum of Myna Birds (Acridotheres Spp)
Kamal Naser, Ahmed Abdulla Hussein*
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to know the morphological and histological structure of the brain of the Myna bird in order to explain the behaviour of this bird, which indicates a higher intelligence than that found in most birds “Eight myna birds with broken bones in different parts of their bodies were obtained from local clinics in Diyala and Baghdad cities.”. “The brain of the myna bird is relatively large compared to the body size, with the brain’s relative weight and relative length being about 0.02% and 0.06% of the total body mass and length, respectively.” . “There are two types of cells in the myna’s central nervous system: the large cells, called neurons, and the small cells, called glial cells.” “The number of neurons and glial cells per micrometer is very high in mynas compared to other birds in previous studies.”, Myna bird show a lot of blood vessels per micrometer. “In this study, NSE was predominantly and strongly expressed in the cytoplasm of cortical pyramidal neurons.”
