Impairments Induced by Sublethal Doses of Sevin and Thiodan on the Brain of a Freshwater Teleost Channa striatus BL. (Channidae)

Prolonged exposure to two pesticides Sevin and Thiodan for 30 days produced impairments in the brain of Channa striatus on the following ways:

• – Separation and damage to meninges of cerebral hemispheres
• – severe damage to all the five layers of the optic textum
• – severe damage to torus longitudinalis
• – partial damage to the molecular and grannular layers of the corpus cerebelli.
• – no effect on diencephalon and myelencephalon.
