Assessing anthropogenic impact on the habitat of threatened rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) through its alarm calls [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Acoustic monitoring is emerging as a key tool in wildlife conservation, especially for species in inaccessible habitats like the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris), an endangered species native to Brazil’s threatened Caatinga biome. Emotional stress from threatening situations affects breathing, heart rate, and vocal muscle tension, altering vocal acoustic ...

Serotonergic fibers distribution in the midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) [PDF]

Brain Research, 2014
The thalamic midline/intralaminar complex is part of the higher-order thalamus, which receives little sensory input, and instead forms extensive cortico-thalamo-cortical pathways. The midline thalamic nuclei connect with the medial prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal lobe.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus and the intergeniculate leaflet in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris): Retinal projections and immunohistochemical characterization

Brain Research, 2010
In this study, two circadian related centers, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) were evaluated in respect to their cytoarchitecture, retinal afferents and chemical content of major cells and axon terminals in the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris), a Brazilian rodent species.

Calcium-binding proteins in the circadian centers of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and the rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) brains

Brain Research Bulletin, 2008
The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the thalamic intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) are considered to be the main centers of the mammalian circadian timing system. In primates, the IGL is included as part of the pregeniculate nucleus (PGN), a cell group located mediodorsally to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.
