Visual lateralisation in quails (Coturnix coturnix)
Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2003Two-week-old quails (Coturnix coturnix) were trained to discriminate food grains scattered randomly on a background of small pebbles of similar size adhering to the floor and differing from the grains in texture and hue ("pebble floor task"). Quails tested binocularly or with only their right eye in use showed less pecking to the pebbles and more ...

Sleep characteristics in the quail Coturnix coturnix
Physiology & Behavior, 2014As mammals, birds exhibit two sleep phases, slow wave sleep (SWS) and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep characterized by presenting different electrophysiological patterns of brain activity. During SWS a high amplitude slow wave pattern in brain activity is observed.

Anatomical Atlas of the Quail's Ear (Coturnix coturnix)
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2015SummaryThis study aims to enhance the anatomical knowledge of the ear of the adult quail (Coturnix coturnix) through the creation of a scaled 3D model utilizing data from micro‐CT images. In addition, 17 annotated histological sections of the quail's ear are aligned to their 3D position in the model. The resulting anatomical atlas provides an intuitive

Moulting cycles in European quail(Coturnix coturnix coturnix)under constant photoperiodic conditions [PDF]
Biological Rhythm Research, 1995 Male and female European quails (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) were studied whilst being maintained in LD 12:12, at 20° C, for four years from birth. The birds exhibited the following phases: end of the first phase of the post‐juvenile moult, fattening and a period of nocturnal activity.

The hypothalamic neurosecretory system of Coturnix coturnix japonica
Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 19631. The neurosecretory cells of Coturnix coturnix japonica occur in two areas, the supraoptic nucleus and the paraventricular nucleus. These nuclear areas consist of a series of extended groups of cells (divisions) that are interconnected through irregular chains of neurosecretory cells. The paraventricular nucleus is large and well-developed.

The materials for the karyograms were prepared from feather pulp and embryonic tissue of coturnix quail secured through the courtesy of Dr. Hans Abplanalp, University of California, Davis. This colony originated from Japan. This species is one of the few among the birds so far described that have metacentric or submetacentric chromosomes recognizable ...

The Development and Differentiation of the Parabronchial Unit in Quail (Coturnix coturnix)
European Journal of Morphology, 1998The present study has been inspired by the conflicting data in the relevant literature concerning the embryogenesis of cell types of the parabronchial epithelium and the formation, discharge and distribution of trilaminar substance and lamellar bodies.
