The Alouatta fusca is a new world primate with wide distribution in South America. The species has great importance for the population, because it is an important sentinel of zoonoses, especially of the yellow fever. Descriptive anatomical studies conducted in old world primates have been extensively evaluated in the past century, but the new world primates as Alouatta fusca were not described in detail. Therefore, in this study we used eight formolin fixed brains, three frozen brains and ten healthy animals. The formolin fixed brains were properly dissected to describe the brain anatomy; the frozen skulls were sectioned in the same planes of the magnetic resonance images for comparison and identification of the structures. The information obtained can be used as a basis for the study of normal brain anatomical structures and their diseases in veterinary medicine centers of wild animals and/or primates. In addition, this study provides comparative data for human medicine, since these animals have been used as experimental models because they have anatomical characteristics more similar to humans than domestic animals
