Abstract

In this brief review, we will highlight the ferret Mustela putorius furo as an increasingly utilized animal model for sensory systems and cognitive neuroscience research. In particular, the human like hearing range of the ferret, coupled with their amenability to training, make them an especially useful model for auditory and multisensory neuroscience. These factors, combined with the increasing availability of virally mediated circuit dissection methods, mean they occupy a unique niche as a versatile and valuable research model.

雪貂对感觉神经生物学事业的贡献。

在这篇简短的综述中，我们将重点介绍白鼬（Mustela putorius furo）这一在感觉系统和认知神经科学研究中越来越常用的动物模型。特别是，雪貂的听力范围与人类相近，而且易于训练，这使它们成为听觉和多感官神经科学的一个特别有用的模型。这些因素，再加上病毒介导的电路解剖方法的日益普及，意味着雪貂作为一种多用途、有价值的研究模型占据了独特的地位。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Neurobiology publishes short annotated reviews by leading experts on recent developments in the field of neurobiology. These experts write short reviews describing recent discoveries in this field (in the past 2-5 years), as well as highlighting select individual papers of particular significance. The journal is thus an important resource allowing researchers and educators to quickly gain an overview and rich understanding of complex and current issues in the field of Neurobiology. The journal takes a unique and valuable approach in focusing each special issue around a topic of scientific and/or societal interest, and then bringing together leading international experts studying that topic, embracing diverse methodologies and perspectives. Journal Content: The journal consists of 6 issues per year, covering 8 recurring topics every other year in the following categories: -Neurobiology of Disease- Neurobiology of Behavior- Cellular Neuroscience- Systems Neuroscience- Developmental Neuroscience- Neurobiology of Learning and Plasticity- Molecular Neuroscience- Computational Neuroscience
