Ail of these studies indicate a belief that the antelope ground squirrel has an all-cone retina; indeed. | |
121 Citations | Overall, the 5‐HT innervation of the thalamus in the squirrel monkey was more massive than would have been expected from earlier studies in nonprimate species. |
Moreover, the almost total lack of Müller cell and RPE reactivity in the ground squirrel retina is a significant difference from results in other species. | |
20 Citations | Recordings from a second class of cells in the outer retina of the squirrel reveal receptive-field properties considerably different from those of squirrel horizontal cells and similar to those of photoreceptor cells in other species. |
Unlike many mammals, most squirrel species are diurnal with cone-dominated retinas, similar to the primate fovea, and have excellent dichromatic color vision that is mediated by green and blue cones. | |
These results reveal that the PPN gives rise to a massive and highly ordered innervation of the basal ganglia in the squirrel monkey. | |
96 Citations | We have found that the brains of the spiny rat, squirrel, prairie dog and rabbit conform to the neuronal scaling rules that apply to the previous sample of rodents. |
24 Citations | Their presence in the squirrel monkey cortex, known to have high secretory activity, lends credence to the correlation of hyperdevelopment of the agranular reticulum with increased rates of secretion of corticoids. |
These results indicate that the beta 4 nAChR subunit is expressed by specific subtypes of neurons on the ground squirrel retina. |
