The pituitary of Trichogaster fasciatus is devoid of a distinct stalk and is closely attached to the floor of the brain. The third ventricle is in wide communication with the anterior neurohypophysis adjacent to the pars distalis. The subterminal region of the hypothalamus and the anterior neurohypophysis forms the median eminence. Structurally this region can be compared to the median eminence of tetrapods as it is differentiated into ependymal, fibrous and reticular layers. A close morphological contact between the stainable neurosecretory and silver positive axons with the capillary plexus and accumulation of neurosecretory material around the capillary network suggest the presence of an incipient tetrapodan type of median eminence in this species.
条纹毛足鲈的脑垂体没有明显的柄，紧密附着于脑底部。第三脑室与远侧部相邻的前神经垂体广泛相通。下丘脑的终末下区域和前神经垂体形成正中隆起。从结构上看，该区域可与四足动物的正中隆起相比较，因为它可分为室管膜层、纤维层和网状层。可染色的神经分泌轴突和银阳性轴突与毛细血管丛之间紧密的形态学接触，以及毛细血管网络周围神经分泌物质的积累，表明该物种存在初期四足动物类型的正中隆起。
