  • Abstract
    The morphological and histological aspects of fore brain (Cerebrum) in quail(Coturnix coturnix) have been investigated, results of the present study revealed that thecerebrum in quail is large size triangular shape, its surface contains folds of shallow grooves.Microscopical examination declears that cerebrum consists of two regions, the firstrepresents pallium which includes the external corticoid area which consist of hyperpalliumand the dorsolateral corticoid area, it consists of piriform cortex and hippocampal complex.The second region is the internal corticoid areas dorsal ventricular ridge which contains themesopallium, nidopallium and archopallium.he large size pyramidal neurons appeared in the nidopallium surrounded the crescent shapedlateral ventricles. The subpallium region consists of two regions represented by striatumwhich contains neuronal fibers and pallium which is appeared small and pale colour andrepresented the deepest part of cerebrum.
