Architectonic features and relative locations of primary sensory and related areas of neocortex in mouse lemurs

This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Mouse lemurs are the smallest of primates, and members of the understudied radiation of lemurs of Madagascar. Overall, mouse lemurs are thought to resemble early primates. We used a series of histological procedures to identify and characterize visual, auditory, somatosensory and motor areas in the neocortex of mouse lemur brains as a step towards discovering how these brains are similar and different from other primate brains.
