		<Abstract>In the present study the comprisal of brachial plexus and nerves springing from the brachial plexus in Günther’s vole has been determined. Ten adult voles (five males and five females) were used in this study. Nerves comprising the brachial plexus and the nerves arising from brachial plexus in vole were dissected and the findings were saved. The brachial plexus of the vole was comprised of the ventral root of cervical (C) 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and thoracic (T) 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; spinal nerves. Also, the brachial plexus was consisted of three trunks including cranial (C5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and C6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;), medial (C7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;) and caudal (C8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and T1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;) trunks. &lt;em&gt;Nervus (n.) subclavius, n. suprascapularis, nervi (nn.) subscapularis, n. axillaris, n. musculocutaneus, n. thoracodorsalis, nn. pectorales craniales, n. pectorales caudales, n. thoracicus lateralis, n. thoracicus longus, n. ulnaris, n. medianus,&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;n. radialis&lt;/em&gt; were determined to be arising from brachial plexus. In conclusion, macroanatomical features of brachial plexus and its branches in Günther’s vole have been determined. It is thought that the findings will contribute to neuroanatomy of the rodents.</Abstract>
