Summary: Cabot's tragopan is a vulnerable species endemic to southeast China, known for its arboreal nesting habits. A study dissecting 10 carcasses of this bird revealed that muscle mass growth follows an isometric pattern, with muscle scaling correlating with arboreal habits. Muscle mass distribution across age groups showed a distal to proximal gradient, with adult birds having a higher percentage of hip and thigh muscles for upright posture and speed. The study also highlighted the importance of knee extensors during terrestrial movement and the correlation of digital flexor mass with breeding ecology in hatchling chicks.

Summary: Eimeria oocysts were detected in Japanese green pheasants at a zoo in Osaka, Japan. The morphological characteristics of the oocysts showed similarities with isolates from ring-necked pheasants in other countries. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate in a clade related to chicken Eimeria spp.

Summary: The study reveals a crucial role of JNK signaling in guiding thalamocortical axons through intermediate target territories. Genetic removal of JNK signaling from the Dlx5/6 domain disrupts thalamocortical axon pathfinding, highlighting the importance of JNK in forebrain development.

Summary: The study reveals a larger than expected complexity and distribution of inhibitory interneurons across the mouse thalamus, tracing back to two developmental programmes, with interneurons migrating to different thalamocortical nuclei depending on their origin. The data also suggest that a blueprint of the ontogenetic organization of thalamic interneurons in larger-brained mammals exists and can be studied in mice.

Summary: New records of the feather mite Pterolichus obtusus have been reported in rustic chickens in Brazil after a 45-year gap, marking its first appearance in the northern region of the country. Brazil's role as a major chicken meat producer and exporter underscores the significance of these findings in informing animal health programs, policies, and research funding decisions to address the impact of P. obtusus on domestic and wild fowl populations.

Summary: The Planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway plays a role in regulating growth cone guidance by influencing local protein synthesis within the growth cones. The interaction between Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) and Fzd3 is negatively regulated by Wnt5a. Knocking down FMRP leads to a randomization of anterior-posterior turning of commissural axons, which can be rescued by FMRP rescue construct. The presence of FMRP target mRNAs encoding PCP components and regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics in the commissural neuron growth cones suggests that PCP signaling regulates growth cone guidance by regulating local protein synthesis through the interaction between Frizzled3 and FMRP.

Summary: Kang et al. found that decreased GABA(A) receptor availability is seen in the anterior forebrain mesocircuit following traumatic brain injury. Recovery is marked by widespread increases, especially in the pallidum, but remains depressed across the frontal cortices possibly contributing to enduring cognitive impairments.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the neurotransmitter identity development of avian Ipc neurons and found that they express different types of mRNAs at different developmental stages, with a gradual decrease in VAChT mRNA expression as development progresses. Additionally, the morphology of Ipc axons undergoes significant changes, and the labeling of ChAT protein is mainly restricted to sparse portions of the terminal branches.

Summary: This essay re-examines the unique rostrally elongated notochord described in amphioxus and proposes an alternative interpretation that it represents a variant form of the prechordal plate. The author compares the observed patterns and gene expression patterns with those of other vertebrates and concludes that the hypothesis of a prechordal nature of the elongated amphioxus notochord is consistent with the evidence presented.

Summary: The paper discusses the hypothesis of homology between the claustro-insular complex in vertebrates, particularly birds and reptiles, based on the comparison of molecular markers and structural features. The findings suggest that there are comparable pallial sectors in the avian and reptilian pallium, supporting the notion of a homologous claustro-insular complex. This has important implications for understanding the evolution of the vertebrate pallium.

Summary: This retrospective multicenter cohort study compared the feasibility and safety of oxaliplatin-based pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC-Ox) with or without intraoperative intravenous 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (L) in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. The results showed that there were no significant differences in toxicity events and oncological outcomes between the two groups. However, further evaluation of the oncological outcomes is needed in larger studies.

Summary: In this study, the researchers analyzed the expression patterns of 59 molecular markers in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) of mice. They identified different molecularly distinct sectors within the LH and found that these sectors correlated with previously postulated hypothalamic progenitor domains. The study provides insights into the connectivity and function of the LH.

Summary: It is unclear whether preoperative biliary drainage by ERCP is equivalent to ECE-LAMS before PD. This retrospective study compared the outcomes of ERCP and ECE-LAMS in patients with DMBO. The results showed that PBD with ECE-LAMS was easier to deploy and more efficient than ERCP, as it had higher technical and clinical success rates and lower surgical complications after PD.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between histopathological changes and angiographic evolution over time in experimental aneurysms in rabbits treated with the WEB procedure. The results showed that WEB device height and width ratio changed over time, but were not significantly correlated with aneurysm occlusion. However, histopathological analysis revealed a significant association between width variations and aneurysm healing and fibrosis.
