  • Title: A stereotaxic atlas of the brain of the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).
    Author: Xiao J, Levitt JB, Buffenstein R.
    Journal: Neuroscience; 2006 Sep 01; 141(3):1415-35. PubMed ID: 16793211.
    Abstract:
    The naked mole-rat (Rodentia, Bathyergidae: Heterocephalus glaber) is a strictly subterranean eusocial mammal. These rodents show a suite of morphological and physiological adaptations, including brain specializations, to this underground milieu that they have inhabited since the early Miocene. Recently, naked mole-rats have received considerable attention as the longest living rodent known, and some of these brain specializations may be potentially important to their exceptional longevity. To serve as a basis for future brain studies, we have constructed a stereotaxic atlas of the brain of this species, labeling all major brain structures.
