Leucism in rodents: the first record for the mocó (Kerodon rupestris Wied-Neuwied, 1820), a rodent endemic to Brazil [PDF]
Notas sobre Mamíferos Sudamericanos, 2023 Leucismo é um distúrbio da cor da pele que causa coloração totalmente branca ou esbranquiçada na pele ou partes da pele do indivíduo afetado. No presente estudo, apresentamos o primeiro registro de leucismo para um mocó Kerodon rupestris.

Milk Composition of Two Precocial, Arid-Dwelling Rodents, Kerodon rupestris and Acomys cahirinus
Physiological Zoology, 1996We collected milk samples from two rodents, Kerodon rupestris and Acomys cahirinus, that live in arid habitats and produce precocial young, in order to determine milk composition throughout the lactation period. Milk from species producing precocial young has been predicted to be low in energy and protein content, while milk from arid-dwelling species ...

Distribution of nitric oxide in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) brain II: The brainstem
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2021In a recent paper, we described the distribution of Nitric oxide (NO) in the diencephalon of the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris). This present paper follows this work, showing the distribution of NO synthesizing neurons in the rock cavy's brainstem. For this, we used immunohistochemistry against the neuronal form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and NADPH ...

Placentation in the rock cavy, Kerodon rupestris (Wied)
Placenta, 2006Rock cavies are rodents found in the semi-arid caatinga of Brazil. We studied the structure of the rock cavy placenta by light and transmission electron microscopy. The exchange area of the labyrinth was organized in lobes separated by interlobular areas. The interhaemal barrier was syncytial haemomonochorial.

Retinal projections to the thalamic paraventricular nucleus in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris)
Brain Research, 2008The thalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVT) receives afferents from numerous brain areas, including the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), considered to be the major circadian pacemaker. The PVT also sends projections to the SCN, limbic system centers and some nuclei involved in the control of the Sleep-Wake cycle.

Retinal afferents to the thalamic mediodorsal nucleus in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris)
Neuroscience Letters, 2010The MD has reciprocal connections with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (PFC) and with limbic cortices and appears to participate in learning and memory-related processes. In this study, we report the identification of a hitherto not reported direct retinal projection to the MD of the rock cavy, a typical rodent species of the Northeast region of ...
