Fine Structure of the Parotid Gland in Tree Shrew (Tupaia glis).

Myopia in the lid-sutured tree shrew (Tupaia glis).

Myopia in the lid-sutured tree shrew (Tupoia g/is) Many mammals reared with visual deprivation display abnormally poor visual behavior while using their deprived eyes1-4,9,1°. These results typically have been attributed to defective development of the central visual pathways during the deprivation 6 s,11,13. However. it is important to consider non-neural (e.g., optical) sources which might co...

Angioarchitecture of the coeliac sympathetic ganglion complex in the common tree shrew (Tupaia glis).

The angioarchitecture of the coeliac sympathetic ganglion complex (CGC) of the common tree shrew (Tupaia glis) was studied by the vascular corrosion cast technique in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy. The CGC of the tree shrew was found to be a highly vascularised organ. It normally received arterial blood supply from branches of the inferior phrenic, superior suprarenal and inferi...

Structural Organization of the Retina in the Tree Shrew (tupaia Glis)

This investigation was undertaken to establish the gross and ultrastructural organization of the photoreceptors and retina in the Malayan tree shrew (Tupaia glis). Photographs of the fundus revealed no specialization or differentiation of a central foveal region. Histologic sections revealed a single row of relatively short and thick cones distributed uniformly throughout the retina. Electron m...

An autoradiographic study of the retino-cortical projections in the tree shrew (Tupaia glis).

An autoradiographic study of the retino-cortical projections in the tree shrew In the past few years the mode of convergence of information from the two eyes in the monkey cortex has been the subject of several studies, physiologicaP 1 and anatomical12,13,16, 2°. It is clear that binocular convergence at the cellular level does not occur to any important extent in layer IVC, which is divided ve...
