Local Aspects of Avian Non-REM and REM Sleep

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Birds exhibit two types of sleep that are in many respects similar to mammalian rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. As in mammals, several aspects of avian sleep can occur in a local manner within the brain.

NON-TRIBOSPHENIC GONDWANAN MAMMALS, AND THE ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF MOLARS WITH A REVERSED TRIANGLE CUSP PATTERN

Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015
Several lineages of non-holotherian Gondwanan mammals developed complex, tribosphenic-like molars, but not tribosphenic occlusion. The reversed triangle occlusal pattern, characteristic of holotherian lineages leading to tribosphenic occlusion, could ...

F-type lectins: Structural and functional aspects, and potential biomedical applications

BBA Advances
Among the multiple animal lectin families recognized to date, F-type lectins (FTLs), fucose-binding lectins characterized by an FTL domain (FTLD), constitute the most recent lectin family to be identified and structurally characterized.
