Özet

In this macro-anatomical research, the data was based on direct observations of 14 adult donkey brains 10 male and 4 female. The brains were fixed in 10% formalin Solution and the investigation was focused on macroscopic descriptions of the brain Surface and of dissected brainstem features. Sulci and gyri on the brain hemispheres had quite curly structures. These were not completely symmetrical both among brains of different donkeys and on two hemispheres of same brains. It was determined that an adult donkey brain weight was 370 +/- 7 g, brain/body weight ratio was 0.27%; cerebellum/brain weight ratio was 10.54% and pituitary gland/brain weight ratio was 0.38%.
