Annual fish have become attractive study models for a wide range of disciplines, including neurobiology. These fish have developed different survival strategies. As a result, their nervous system is under considerable selective pressure when facing extreme environmental situations. Fish from the Austrolebias group exhibit rapid neurogenesis in different brain regions, possibly as a result of the demanding conditions of a changing habitat. Knowledge of cerebral histology is essential for detecting ontogenic, anatomical, or cytoarchitectonic changes in the brain during the short lifespan of these fish, such as those reflecting functional adaptive plasticity in different systems, including sensory structures. The generation of an atlas of Garcialebias charrua (previously known as Austrolebias charrua) establishes its anatomical basis as a representative of a large group of fish that share similarities in their way of life. In this work, we present a detailed study of both gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy obtained through serial sections stained with the Nissl technique in three orientations: transverse, horizontal, and parasagittal planes. This atlas includes accurate drawings of the entire adult brain of the male fish Garcialebias charrua, showing dorsal, ventral, and lateral views, including where emergence and origin of cranial nerves. This brain atlas allows us to understand histoarchitecture as well as the location of neural structures that change during adult neurogenesis, enabling comparisons within the genus. Simultaneously, this atlas constitutes a valuable tool for comparing the brains of other fish species with different behaviors and neuroecologies.
