Volumetric MRI measurements of the tree shrew hippocampus.
Protocols suitable for repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the tree shrew's brain were established. This included the development of (i) a technique for prolonged inhalation anesthesia by endotracheal intubation; (ii) a reproducible fixation of the animal's head in a stereotaxic frame and finally (iii) the set-up of the hardware (rf coil) and software (MRI sequences) of the MRI...
متن کاملGenome of the Chinese tree shrew.
Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) possess many features valuable in animals used as experimental models in biomedical research. Currently, there are numerous attempts to employ tree shrews as models for a variety of human disorders: depression, myopia, hepatitis B and C virus infections, and hepatocellular carcinoma, to name a few. Here we present a publicly available annotated g...
متن کاملTree shrew database (TreeshrewDB): a genomic knowledge base for the Chinese tree shrew
The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a small mammal with a close relationship to primates and it has been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research. The recent release of a high-quality Chinese tree shrew genome enables more researchers to use this species as the model animal in their studies. With the aim to making the access to an extensively annotated ...
متن کاملSpatial contrast sensitivity of the tree shrew.
Spatial contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) were measured for 3 tree shrews. Our two-alternative forced-choice discrimination paradigm required the animals to discriminate a vertical sine-wave luminance grating from a homogeneous field of the same size (16 degrees) and mean luminance (35 cd/m2). Spatial frequencies tested ranged from 0.1 to 2.0 c/deg and grating contrast was varied trial-by-t...
متن کاملComparison of the properties of neural stem cells of the hippocampus in the tree shrew and rat in vitro
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are characterized by the ability of self‑renewal and capacity to proliferate and produce new nervous tissue. NSCs are capable of differentiating to three lineages of neural cells, including neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Furthermore, hippocampal NSCs transplantation can improve the neurological deficits associated with expression of cytokines. Therefore, to c...
