Neuropilin-mediated neural crest cell guidance is essential to organise sensory neurons into segmented dorsal root ganglia [PDF]
, 2009 The peripheral nervous system (PNS) of higher vertebrates is segmented to align the spinal nerve roots with the vertebrae. This co-patterning is set up during embryogenesis, when vertebrae develop from the sclerotome layer of the metameric somites, and ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Localization of brain stem motoneurons innervating the laryngeal muscles in the rufous horseshoe bat,rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]
, 1981 The motoneurons innervating the laryngeal muscles were localized in the rufous horseshoe bat,Rhinolophus rouxi, using the HRP method. HRP was applied to the cricothyroid muscle and to the cut end of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Labeled motoneurons were

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

A gradient of frequency-dependent synaptic properties along the longitudinal hippocampal axis
BMC Neuroscience, 2017 Background The hippocampus is a functionally heterogeneous brain structure and specializations of the intrinsic neuronal network may crucially support the functional segregation along the longitudinal axis of the hippocampus.

Role of the hindbrain in dorsoventral but not anteroposterior axial specification of the inner ear [PDF]
, 2005 An early and crucial event in vertebrate inner ear development is the acquisition of axial identities that in turn dictate the positions of all subsequent inner ear components.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Molecular codes defining rostrocaudal domains in the embryonic mouse hypothalamus
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015 The prosomeric model proposes that the hypothalamus is a rostral forebrain entity, placed ventral to the telencephalon and rostral to the diencephalon.
