The brain of the moray eel was examined by the Fink-Heimer method after surgical ablation of the olfactory bulb. Terminal degeneration was found in parts of the ventrolateral pallium, posterior lobe, and ventromedial area. An extensive olfactory projection to pallial and subpallial parts of the cerebrum, to the preoptic area, and to the habenular nuclei, as reported in the older literature, was not confirmed.
