A morphological study of the nucleus subpretectalis of the pigeon.
In pigeons, the tectofugal system is functionally as well as structurally lateralized. So for example the right nucleus rotundus is less modulated by right forebrain influences than the left nucleus rotundus by the left ones. This ...

Afferent and efferent connections of the mesencephalic reticular formation in goldfish.
The physiology of the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) in goldfish suggests its contribution to eye and body movements, but the afferent and efferent connections underlying such movements have not been determined. Therefore, we injected the ...

Vomeronasal inputs to the rodent ventral striatum.
Vertebrates sense chemical signals through the olfactory and vomeronasal systems. In squamate reptiles, which possess the largest vomeronasal system of all vertebrates, the accessory olfactory bulb projects to the nucleus sphericus, which in turn projects to a portion of ...

Evolution of brains, cognition, and consciousness.
Most current hypotheses about the neural basis for consciousness, including higher-level consciousness, are based on mammalian neural features, particularly focusing on thalamocortical circuitry. It is postulated here that since higher-level consciousness is correlated with higher-level cognitive abilities in humans and ...

The dolphin brain-A challenge for synthetic neurobiology.
Toothed whales (odontocetes) are a promising paradigm for neurobiology and evolutionary biology. The ecophysiological implications and structural adaptations of their brain seem to reflect the necessity of effective underwater hearing for echolocation (sonar), navigation, and communication. However, not all ...

Developmental changes of calretinin immunoreactivity in the lamprey spinal cord.
We studied the distribution of calretinin immunoreactivity (CR-ir) in the rostral and intermediate levels of the spinal cord of lampreys from embryonic to adult periods. CR-ir was first observed at hatching in motoneurons and primary sensory ...

Development of the diencephalic relay structures of the visual thalamofugal system in pigeons.
To compare the developmental pattern of the visual tecto- and thalamofugal pathways in the altricial pigeon, we examined the posthatch differentiation of the retinothalamic system. Choleratoxin was injected into the left and right ...

Hyaluronan accumulates around differentiating neurons in spinal cord of chicken embryos.
One major component of the extracellular matrix is hyaluronan (HA) which is thought to play a crucial role in the development of different organs including the central nervous system (CNS). HA is bound by specific ...

Tangentially migrating GABAergic cells of subpallial origin invade massively the pallium in developing sharks.
We studied the development of the GABAergic system in the telencephalon of the dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula using GABA and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) immunocytochemistry. The earliest GABA-expressing cells appeared in the basal telencephalon ...

Evolution of cortical neurogenesis.
The neurons of the mammalian neocortex are organised into six layers. By contrast, the reptilian and avian dorsal cortices only have three layers which are thought to be equivalent to layers I, V and VI of mammals. Increased repertoire of mammalian higher ...

Genetic and epigenetic contributions to the cortical phenotype in mammals.
One aspect of cortical organization, cortical field size, is variable both within and across species. The observed variability arises from a variety of sources, including genes intrinsic to the neocortex and a number of extrinsic and ...
