...X.C. Zou; G.F. Martin The distribution of the growth associated protein GAP-43 has been described in the brain and spinal cord of rats and other placental mammals but not marsupials. In order to provide such information, we employed a monoclonal antibody to immunostain for GAP-43 in the central...

...Peiyan Wong; Jon H. Kaas Short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis domestica) belong to the branch of marsupial mammals that diverged from eutherian mammals approximately 180 million years ago. They are small in size, lack a marsupial pouch, and may have retained more morphological characteristics...

.... The question of how the newborn marsupial is able to navigate from the cloaca to the pouch and attach to the teat has been the subject of scientific debate for over half a century [Tyndale-Biscoe, 2005]. In the case of large macropods (e.g., the eastern grey kangaroo – Macropus giganteus ), this climb can...

In all measures the marsupials were within the general range for eutherian mammals reported in the literature. The size of the amygdala...

...L.M. Aitkin; G.R. Gates The afferent connections of the auditory cortex of the acallosal marsupial Trichosurus vulpecula have been studied using the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. The enzyme was applied by electrophoresis from a micropipette previously used to define...

...L.M. Aitkin; C.E. Kenyon The organization and connections of the brain stem auditory nuclei were studied in the marsupial brush-tailed possum, Trichosurus vulpecula, and compared with commonly studied placental mammals. Although some gross morphological differences may be observed, including...

...Stephen R. Robinson The corpus callosum has been implicated as the major commissure mediating the interhemispheric transfer of visual information in placental mammals. As marsupials lack a corpus callosum, they may be incapable of such transfer. This study was undertaken to test this hypothesis...

... the hypothesis that olfactory projections contribute to guidance of the newborn tammar to the pouch and nipple. It appears far more likely that the trigeminal pathways play a significant role in this behavior because the central projections of the trigeminal nerve are more mature at birth in this marsupial...
