Volumetric comparisons on some nuclei in the cerebellar complex of prosimians

Neurochemical and Structural Organization of the Principal Nucleus of the Inferior Olive in the Human

“…These differences parallel differences in the development of the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum. In great apes and humans, there is a dramatic expansion of the cerebral cortex and a parallel enlargement of the cerebellar hemispheres and dentate nucleus (Matano and Hirasaki, 1997;Matano and Ohta, 1999;MacLeod et al, 2003;Sultan and Glickstein, 2007;Sherwood et al, 2008;Glickstein et al, 2009;Balsters et al, 2010;Sultan et al, 2010). There is a corresponding dramatic expansion of the IOpr.…”

Brief communication: Proportions of the ventral half of the cerebellar dentate nucleus in humans and great apes

“…In terms of volumetric comparison among various species of primates from Stephan's brain collection, the development of the nucleus in the cerebellar complex and its adaptation to species-specific locomotor behavior have been investigated through allometric comparisons. Seventeen species of prosimians were studied by Matano and Ohta (1999), and 26 species of anthropoids, including great apes and humans, were studied by Matano and Hirasaki (1997).…”

On the proposed conservation of LORISIDAE Gray, 1821 and GALAGIDAE Gray, 1825 (Mammalia, Primates) as the correct original spellings

“…As publications used by those primarily involved in the study of primate systematics and taxonomy, these are works that have most influence in the scientific language of the primatological literature. Nowak (1999), which is a standard reference work on living mammals, and the vast majority of those studying primates have maintained the traditional spelling of indriidae (see, for example, Tattersall, 1982 Warren & Crompton, 1997;Jolly, 1998;Yamashita, 1998;Zietkiewicz, Richer & Sinnett, 1998;Matano & Ohta, 1999;Razafindraibe, Montagnon & Rumpler, 2000).…”
