“…In macaques it was found that the DA A14 neurons of the Pe area are co-localized with and activated by CRF neurons [38]. Secondly, the Pe area includes part of the magnocellular division of the PVN (PaMC) [39]. The PaMC was recently demonstrated as an integral part of the stress response by releasing peptides peripherally that feedback and activate the HPA axis [24].…”

BackgroundFeather pecking and cannibalism are major concerns in poultry farming, both in terms of animal welfare and farm economics. Genetic selection and introduction of (aspects of) maternal care have been suggested as potential interventions to reduce feather pecking in laying hens. Altered brain development has been proposed to reflect welfare states in animals, and can provide more insight into the underlying processes involved in feather pecking. Both vasotocin (the avian homologue of vasopressin) and dopaminergic neural circuitry have roles in control of social behaviors as well as in the stress response, and may be linked to feather pecking. Thus, the hypothalamus of adult laying hens selected for low early mortality (LML), which show low feather pecking, was examined and compared with a control line of adult laying hens selected for production characteristics only (CL). The effect of foster hen rearing on the two genetic lines and their hypothalamic morphology was also investigated.ResultsWe demonstrated an increase in the number of neurons positive for the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine production, tyrosine hydroxylase, in the periventricular area of the hypothalamus in the LML hens compared to CL hens. Hen-reared chicks showed more vasotocin -positive neurons in the medial pre-optic area compared to the hens raised without a hen. No correlations were found between behavior in an open field at 5–6 weeks of age, and the histology of the same hens at adulthood.ConclusionThe hypothalamic dopaminergic and vasotinergic systems are altered in hens following genetic selection or maternal care, indicating a potential role for these systems in feather pecking.

“…2 Other examples of abnormal sulcation include polymicrogyria, schizencephaly, 2 and "simplification" of the gyral pattern with microcephaly. 7 The normal parieto-occipital groove is variably called in both neuroanatomical textbooks and numerous peerreviewed articles a fissure in some 3,8,9 and a sulcus in others. [10][11][12] If it is a fissure, it is the last fissure to appear and if a sulcus, the first sulcus to be formed.…”
