Abstract:Introduction. In order to enhance our understanding of bat vision, we investigated tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive (IR) fibers in the visual cortex of the microbat. Material and methods. The study was conducted on 12 freshly-caught adult bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, both sexes, weighing 15-20 g). We used standard immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. Results. TH-IR fibers were distributed throughout all layers of the visual cortex, with the highest density in layer I. Two types of TH-IR fib… Show more
