... changes in brain morphology; however, which factors favour concerted or mosaic brain evolution is unclear. Here, we examined the volumes of the 6 major neural subdivisions across 14 species of the agamid lizard genus Ctenophorus (dragons). These species have diverged multiple times in behaviour, ecology...

Shades of green indicate different models of the extent of the hippocampal formation in reptiles. c , d Dorsal view of the cerebral cortex in a lizard ( c ; adapted from Platel [1969]) and a turtle ( d ; adapted from Schepers [1948]). All studies agree...

... the extant archosaurs, while geckos are lepidosaurs. Despite the similar organization of their auditory systems, archosaurs and lizards use different strategies for encoding the ITDs that underlie localization of sound in azimuth. Barn owls encode ITD information using a place map, which is composed...

... in the regulation of aggression remains unclear and contrasting effects of this peptide on aggression are seen in differing species and contexts. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry to examine the effects of testosterone on the AVT system in male and female tree lizards, Urosaurus ornatus , and to determine...

...Michael J. Mulroy The anatomy of the peripheral auditory system of the alligator lizard, Gerrhonotus multicarinatus, is described. The histology of the auditory receptor (basilar papilla) is described in detail and compared with the mammalian organ of Corti. Special features of the cochlear anatomy...

...Dan Bagger-Sjöbäck The basilar papilla of the lizard Calotes versicolor contains two different types of sensory cells. The ventral part of the organ is populated by the short-haired type A sensory cells whereas the dorsal part is populated by the long-haired type B sensory cells. The type A sensory...

...W.L.R. Cruce Descending fiber projections to the lizard spinal cord were studied using anterograde axonal degeneration. Following hemisection of the cord at the first spinal segment, degeneration was found in the white and gray matter as far down as the 31st (caudal) segment. Degenerating fibers...

...Ann B. Butler Interhemispheric connections of the telencephalon in the lizard, Gekko, were studied with anterograde degeneration methods following lesions variously placed in the medial, dorsal, and lateral cortices and/or the dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR). After lesions involving dorsal cortex...

...Wilhelmus J.A.J. Smeets; Allert J. Jonker The distribution of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT)-immunoreactive (PNMTi) cell bodies and fibers in the brain of the lizard Gekko gecko was studied by antibodies raised in rabbits against purified bovine adrenal PNMT. The PNMTi cell bodies...

...Piet V. Hoogland; Eefke Vermeulen-VanderZee The presumptive cholinergic elements in the telencephalon of the lizard Gekko gecko were demonstrated with the AB8 anti-choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) antibody. Somata positive for ChAT were observed in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, the dorsal...

Our findings are, in general, compatible with previous descriptions of the primary visual system in other species of lizards. However, they indicate three features particular to chameleons: first...

...Allan F. Wiechmann; Celeste R. Wirsig-Wiechmann Melatonin binding sites were identified in the brain and retina of the lizard Anolis carolinensis using in vitro autoradiography. Radioactive labeling was observed in areas which receive primary, secondary, and tertiary visual input: the superficial...
