Orientation and spatiotemporal tuning of cells in the primary visual cortex of an Australian marsupial, the wallaby Macropus eugenii

Ibbotson, MichaelMark, R F2015-12-132015-12-130340-7594http://hdl.handle.net/1885/76283The metatherians (marsupials) have been separated from eutherians (placentals) for approximately 135 million years. It might, therefore, be expected that significant independent evolution of the visual system has occurred.
