“…9 The fat bodies of crested ducks have varied from 0.3% to 41% of total brain volume, and ducks with motor incoordination show significantly larger fat bodies. 7 The juvenile crested pekin duck we describe did not show evidence of an intracranial fat body with advanced imaging or visualization during surgery. However, a presumed fluid-filled peripheral cerebral cyst was visualized on advanced imaging and during surgery.…”

“…Additionally, multiple congenital pathologic changes in the cranium and the brain have previously been described in crested domestic ducks. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Results of a complete blood cell count and serum biochemical profile were within reference intervals, aside from an increased creatinine kinase activity (attributed to tissue damage from falling).…”

“…In detail, cerebellum, apical hyperpallium, tegmentum, and olfactory bulb were significantly reduced in CR, and obviously the behavioral deficits cannot be explained by the existence of a fat body but by functionally suboptimal cerebella and tegmenta. Fat body size seems to be a decisive factor [61].…”
