TL;DR: It was found that iHg was accumulated faster in the gills (within 1 day), which also had the highest accumulated levels among all the target tissues/organs, and higher accumulated levels were recorded in the brain earlier than the eye wall, and a depuration period of 28 days did not allow the total elimination of iHG in any of the tissues/borgans.

TL;DR: Although MeHg decreased almost two-fold in the brain during post-exposure, the levels were still high and led to a loss of cells in the optic tectum at PE28, this is an interesting result that highlights the opticTectum as particularly vulnerable to MeHG exposure in fish.
