Research analyzes brain adaptations for navigation and vision in semi-aquatic harbour seals, suggesting insights for marine mammal studies.
This research analyses the neuroanatomy of the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) brain, focusing on adaptations for spatial navigation, and visual processing in a semi-aquatic environment. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques like 3D-polarised light imaging and histological mapping, it provides a detailed anatomical 3D-atlas. Key findings include precise measurements of brain regions, such as the caudate nucleus, hippocampus, and lateral geniculate nucleus. This research contributes to marine mammal neuroscience, offering a foundation for future comparative studies and functional investigations.
