Brodmann has pioneered structural brain mapping. He considered functional and
pathological criteria for defining cortical areas in addition to cytoarchitecture. Starting from …

Here we review recent findings related to postnatal spinogenesis, dendritic and axon
growth, pruning and electrophysiology of neocortical pyramidal cells in the developing …

Better understanding of the extent and scope of visual cortex plasticity following central
vision loss is essential both for clarifying the mechanisms of brain plasticity and for future …

Introduction: The study of non-laboratory species has been part of a broader effort to
establish the basic organization of the mammalian neocortex, as these species may provide …

We analyzed the organization of the somatosensory and visual cortices of the agouti, a
diurnal rodent with a relatively big brain, using a combination of multiunit microelectrode …

The rat primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is remarkable for its conspicuous vertical
compartmentalization in barrels and septal columns, which are additionally stratified in …

In order to understand how the mammalian sensory cortex has been structured during
evolution, it is necessary to compare data from different species across distinct mammalian …

In the present study, we investigated the topographical distribution of ganglion cells and
displaced amacrine cells in the retina of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu), a diurnal …

Introduction: The study of non-laboratory species has been part of a broader effort to
establish the basic organization of the mammalian neocortex, as these species may provide …

Understanding patterns of cortico‐cortical connections in both frequently and infrequently
studied species advances our knowledge of cortical organization and evolution. The agouti …
