Abstract

Acomys cahirinus (referred to as "acomys" in this article) is a precocial rodent, born well-developed and mobile, capable of feeding independently and escaping predators shortly after birth. Notable for its advanced regenerative abilities and menstrual cycle, acomys serves as a unique model for studying diverse aspects of physiology and neuroscience, including developmental and regenerative neuroscience. Despite its significance, only sporadic and unsystematic data on the structure and development of the acomys brain are available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systematically organize the existing information on the structure and development of the acomys brain and to compare it with that of commonly studied altricial rodent species (rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils). This review is organized into several sections, focusing on general aspects of brain development, such as myelination and brain growth. It also discusses the development of brain structures involved in sensory processing (olfactory, visual, and auditory), motor control, learning and memory, and social behavior.

Acomys cahirinus大脑发育的比较研究。

Acomys cahirinus（本文中简称 "acomys"）是一种前社会性啮齿动物，出生时发育良好，活动能力强，能够独立进食，出生后不久就能逃脱捕食者的追捕。acomys以其先进的再生能力和月经周期而闻名，是研究生理学和神经科学（包括发育和再生神经科学）不同方面的独特模型。尽管乌头鼠非常重要，但目前只有零星和不系统的数据介绍乌头鼠大脑的结构和发育。因此，本研究的目的是系统地整理有关乌头鼠大脑结构和发育的现有资料，并将其与通常研究的齧齿动物物种（大鼠、小鼠、仓鼠和沙鼠）进行比较。本综述分为几个部分，侧重于大脑发育的一般方面，如髓鞘化和大脑生长。它还讨论了大脑结构在感官处理（嗅觉、视觉和听觉）、运动控制、学习和记忆以及社会行为方面的发育。

期刊介绍： The official journal of the International Behavioral Neuroscience Society publishes original and significant review articles that explore the intersection between neuroscience and the study of psychological processes and behavior. The journal also welcomes articles that primarily focus on psychological processes and behavior, as long as they have relevance to one or more areas of neuroscience.
