The light microscopic analysis of serial sections of the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) shows that the form of the groove-like (in cross section) organ varies over its total length. Its rostral origin is a tunnel-like structure anterior to the orifice of the hollow pineal stalk. The SCO forms the dorsal wall of the brain. Caudally the SCO is increasingly displaced from the surface of the brain by the fibers of the posterior commissure; the organ ends in a tabular area beyond the latter. The orifice of the pineal stalk is surrounded by the ependyma of the SCO that invaginates like a funnel and joins with the ependyma of the pineal stalk after a considerable narrowing. The rudimentary parapineal organ is located on the left side of the brain and is connected with the left habenular ganglion through the parapineal tract. It contacts the third ventricle with a short channel within the ependyma of the SCO. The histological organization of the ependymal and hypendymal cells of the SCO is typical of teleosts. Secretory material is located basally and apically in relation to the nucleus, but there is no indication of a basal secretory release. Basal ependymal processes terminate with broadened endings at the membrana limitans externa. The apical product is discharged into the third ventricle, where it aggregates into the thread-like structure of Reissner's fibre. The SCO cells have no direct contact with cerebral or meningeal blood vessels.
