On old and new comparative neurological sinners: the evolutionary importance of the membranous parts of the actinopterygian forebrain and their sites of attachment.

8 Sep 2009 The forebrain of actinopterygian fishes differs from that of other vertebrates in that it consists of a pair of solid lobes. Lateral ventricles surrounded by nervous tissue are entirely lacking. This peculiar configuration of the actinopterygian ... Read more...

The structural organization of the forebrain: a commentary on the papers presented at the 20th Annual Karger Workshop 'Forebrain evolution in fishes'.

31 Aug 2009 During the 2008 Karger Workshop considerable progress was made towards defining a model or structural plan, valid for the prosencephalon of all vertebrates. The presentations demonstrated that the following features, which are valid for tetrapods, ... Read more...

An evolutionary interpretation of teleostean forebrain anatomy.

31 Aug 2009 During the past few years, our investigations of the forebrain in the zebrafish (a teleost fish) have shown that its molecular anatomy and expression patterns of genes involved in the regulation of neuronal transmitter phenotypes, such as ... Read more...
