Uppermost Pleistocene shrews (Mammalia, Soricidae) from Vaskapu Cave (N-Hungary) [PDF]
, 1999 Three shrew species (Sorex araneus LINNAEUS1758, Sorex minutus LlNNAEUS1766 and Sorex alpinus SHINZ1837) were found in the fossiliferous sediments of Vaskapu Cave, near Felsötárkány.

Intra- and Interspecies Analyses of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Gene Family Reveal Independent Evolution in Primates and Rodents [PDF]
, 1989 Various rodent and primate DNAs exhibit a stronger intra- than interspecies cross-hybridization with probes derived from the N-terminal domain exons of human and rat carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like genes.

Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) exhibit novelty preference in the novel location memory task with 24-h retention periods [PDF]
, 2014 Novelty preference is pervasive in mammalian species, and describes an inherent tendency to preferentially explore novelty. The novel location memory task studied here assesses the ability of animals to form accurate memories of a spatial configuration ...

On the Relation Between Receptive Field Structure and Stimulus Selectivity in the Tree Shrew Primary Visual Cortex [PDF]
, 2017 There are notable differences in functional properties of primary visual cortex (V1) neurons among mammalian species, particularly those concerning the occurrence of simple and complex cells and the generation of orientation selectivity. Here, we present

Zoo-FISH in the European mole (Talpa europaea) detects all ancestral Boreo-Eutherian human homologous chromosome associations [PDF]
, 2006 Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of human homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (Talpa europaea, Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia).

Histaminergic system in the tree shrew brain
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1989 AbstractThis study mapped the histamine‐immunoreactive neuronal system in the brain of the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) and compared its structure with that of the rat and guinea pig. The histamine‐containing cell bodies lay in the posterior ventral hypothalamus in the tuberomammillary complex, as in the rodents.

Spiking Dynamics during Perceptual Grouping in the Laminar Circuits of Visual Cortex [PDF]
, 2009 Grouping of collinear boundary contours is a fundamental process during visual perception. Illusory contour completion vividly illustrates how stable perceptual boundaries interpolate between pairs of contour inducers, but do not extrapolate from a ...

Metabolic Rate of Tree-Shrews (Urogale everetti)
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1962 SummaryThe oxygen consumption of 32 Philippine tree-shrews was 0.87 ± 0.02 ec/g body wt/hr (mean and standard error). Expressed as Standard Metabolic Rate, this represented 29.7 ± 0.8 Cal/sq m body surface/hr, a value corresponding to that of laboratory rats of comparable weight and maturity. No sex difference was observed.
