The effect of age on compensation for a negative lens and recovery from lens-induced myopia in tree shrews (Tupaia glis belangeri)
We examined in tree shrews the effect of age on the development of, and recovery from, myopia induced with a negative lens. Starting at 11, 16, 24, 35 or 48days after natural eye-opening (days of visual experience [VE]), juvenile tree shrews (n=5 per group) wore a monocular -5D lens for 11days. A long-term lens-wear group (n=6) began treatment at 16days of VE and wore the lens for 30days. A you...
متن کاملMyopia 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...
متن کاملBasal physiological parameters in domesticated tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis).
Establishing non-human primate models of human diseases is an efficient way to narrow the large gap between basic studies and translational medicine. Multifold advantages such as simplicity of breeding, low cost of feeding and facility of operating make the tree shrew an ideal non-human primate model proxy. Additional features like vulnerability to stress and spontaneous diabetic characteristic...
متن کامل“Lens Mitochondria” in the Retinal Cones of the Tree-shrew Tupaia belangeri
In all mammals, the mitochondria of the cones of the retina are concentrated in the inner segment. Uniquely in tree-shrews (Tupaia, Scandentia, Mammalia), a "megamitochondrion" exhibiting highly specialized systems of densely packed cristae and a very electron dense matrix, is located apically in the inner segment. The ellipsoid is a solid body containing several megamitochondria and, towards i...
متن کاملRepresentation of the body surface in somatosensory area I of tree shrews, Tupaia glis.
Microelectrode mapping methods were used to determine the organization of the first somatosensory area, S-I, of tree shrews. Tree shrews were chosen for study because of their generalized body form, phylogenetic relationship to primates, and smooth, easily mapped cortex. A systematic representation of the contralateral body surface was found in an architectonically distinct zone identified as s...
