responsible for memory, the cerebral cortex, responsible for processing information, and the amygdala, which is responsible for conditioned learning would not be present in the telencephalon (Hines, 2016 April). However, recent studies have shown that the brain structures for fish are as equally as complex as those of “higher” vertebrate groups, with the only difference lying in the development of the telencephalon.

Glial Cells are supporting cells in the nervous system (central nervous system [CNS] and peripheral nervous system [PNS]) which aid in the efficiency of neural operations in the nervous system, (Carlson, 2013). Carlson (2013, p.36) indicates the general functions of the glial cells as: keeping neurons in place; supplying neurons with nutrients and the chemicals needed to communicate with each other; protecting neurons from each other to promote coherent messages; and “destroying and removing the…
