Early rearing environment impacts cerebellar growth in juvenile salmon.
The size and structure of an animal's brain is typically assumed to result from either natural or artificial selection pressures over generations. However, because a fish's brain grows continuously throughout life, it may be particularly responsive to the environmental conditions the fish experiences during development. Salmon are an ideal model system for studying these effects because natural...

This chapter identifies measures that can be used to capture status and change in the quality and quantity of early caregiver-child interactions. Because maternal drug abuse often necessitates the use of alternative caregivers for the child, through either legal or informal arrangements, the measures discussed herein are suitable for the biological mother, father, or grandparent; professional f...
متن کاملOcular dominance columns in New World monkeys.
Squirrel monkeys normally lack ocular dominance columns in V1. This study shows that squirrel monkeys can exhibit clear ocular dominance columns if they are made strabismic within a few weeks of birth. Columns were seen only in layer 4C beta and were coarser than the overlying blob pattern in the same animal. In physiological recordings from layer 4C of a normal squirrel monkey, single units we...

متن کاملEffect of dark-rearing on experimental myopia in monkeys.
When lids are surgically fused in rhesus monkeys before eye growth is completed, a high degree of myopia develops, which is caused by an elongation of the eye globe. The present study shows that in monkeys raised in the dark after monocular lid fusion, refraction and axial length were normal in both the closed and the open eye. Myopia, however, readily developed and the eye elongated when a mon...
