An atypical diencephalic nucleus in actinopterygian fishes: visual connections and sporadic phylogenetic distribution.

abstract：:Although rats often show an upright standing behavior the cardiovascular response during the behavior has not yet been fully clarified. In this study we quantified the activity of upright standing behavior in rats using infrared beam detectors and measured cardiovascular variables during the behavior. Rats demonstrate...
