The innervation of sonic muscles in teleosts has been categorized into three types: occipital nerve, spinal nerve, and a combination of occipital and spinal nerves. The innervation patterns of sonic muscles were examined (or re-examined) in...

Ion channels and their neural functions have often been studied in the brains of mammals. However, the brains of some teleost fish species have special features that, at first glance, appear to be atypical and peculiar to that species alone...

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is synthesized in the pineal organ and the retina of vertebrates. In some teleost species, ocular melatonin levels can exhibit a circadian periodicity with elevated levels during the dark phase under...

The sympathetic nervous system develops as an evolutionary trait with gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but not with agnathan fishes (i.e., hagfishes and lampreys). Organization of the sympathetic preganglionic neuronal columns is different...
A new interpretation on the homology of the teleostean telencephalon based on hodology and a new eversion model [0.03%]

Various hypotheses regarding the homology of the teleostean telencephalon with that of other vertebrates have been proposed to date. However, a firm conclusion on this issue has yet to be drawn. We propose here a new hypothesis with a new e...

We propose here a novel interpretation of the embryonic origin of cells of diencephalic sensory relay nuclei in teleosts based on our recent studies of gene expression patterns in the medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryonic brain and comparative...

Modern teleosts have more copies of developmental regulatory genes than other vertebrates, probably due to a whole genome duplication that occurred specifically at the base of the lineage of ray-finned fishes. The genome duplication generat...

Comparative neurobiologists have provided ample evidence that in vertebrates small animals have proportionally larger brains: in a double-logarithmic plot of brain weight versus body weight all data points conform quite closely to a straigh...

Despite the highly conserved circuitry of the cerebellum, its overall shape varies significantly among and within vertebrate classes. In birds, one of the most prominent differences among orders is the relative size of the cerebellar folia....

Inhibitory GABAergic interneurons are important for shaping patterns of activity in neocortical networks. We examined the distributions of inhibitory interneuron subtypes in layer II/III of areas V1 and V2 in 18 genera of anthropoid primate...
