... extrinsically driven ongoing activity and/or intrinsic spontaneous activity (OA and SA, respectively). In mammals, OA and SA are often initiated within the protected nociceptor soma long after an inducing injury. Generation of OA or SA in nociceptor somata may be very rare in invertebrates, but prolonged...

Out of one of these models, presented as the “updated tetrapartite pallium model,” a modified definition of the earlier lateral pallium sector (LPall) concept emerged, characterizing it in mammals as an unitary claustro-insular transitional (mesocortical) complex intercalated...

We obtain the best estimate for the slope of circa 0.27, a value much lower than those constructed using all mammal species and close to the value expected based on the genetic correlation between brain size and body size. We...

We examined the brains of carnivores ( n = 17), ungulates ( n = 8), rodents ( n = 7), primates ( n = 11), and other mammals ( n = 18) from the online...

...Ann B. Butler The hippocampus was first named in mammals based on the appearance of its gross morphological features, one end of it being fancied to resemble the head of a horse and the rest of it a silkworm, or caterpillar.

...Menno P. Witter; Heidi Kleven; Asgeir Kobro Flatmoen The hippocampus in mammals is a morphologically well-defined structure, and so are its main subdivisions. To define the homologous structure in other vertebrate clades, using these morphological criteria has been difficult, if not impossible...

While the present study reveals a similar pattern of adult neurogenesis to that reported previously in other mammals, further studies are needed to clarify if the cortical DCX-immunopositive cells are newly generated neurons or cells...

Mammalian species have also been hypothesized to differ in visual acuity partly as a result of differences in ecology. While...
