TL;DR: The present article provides an overview of calcium-binding protein distribution across a large number of representative mammalian species and a review of their developmental patterns in the species where data are available, demonstrating that while it is likely that the developmental patterns are quite consistent across species, the distribution and morphology varies substantially among mammalian orders and that certain species show highly divergent patterns compared to closely related taxa.

TL;DR: Although the dolphin brain has certain quantitative characteristics of the evolutionary changes seen in the higher terrestrial mammals, it has also retained many of the conservative structural features of the initial brain, and its neocortical organization is accordingly different, largely in a quantitative sense, from that of terrestrial models of theInitial brain such as the hedgehog.

TL;DR: A new class of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons immunoreactive to the calcium-binding protein calretinin (CR) was demonstrated in primary visual cortices of the bottlenose dolphin and humans, although general typology of the Immunoreactive CR-positive neurons was similar in both species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified two distinct types of cortical formations composing the lateral gyrus (visual cortex) of the dolphin and have termed these heterolaminar cortex and homolaminara cortex.

TL;DR: The morphologic characteristics and distribution of three calcium-binding proteins, parvalbumin, calbindin, and calretinin, a component of the neuronal cytoskeleton, and of the neurofilament protein triplet are reviewed to provide an overview of the presence and cellular typology of these proteins in the neocortex of various mammalian taxa.
