Note(s) : Carollia perspicillata, a tropical species, is the only bat that has essentially been
domesticated and can be maintained and propagated in a research environment utilizing
simple, inexpensive husbandry procedures. This atlas contains the first quality treatment
of a bat species, and is unique in its use of NeuN staining. The NeuN preparations
used selectively stain neurons in a sharp black coloration that fills not only the
cell body but extends a short distance along the proximal dendrites. Thus, as distinct
from the traditional nissl stains, the NeuN generates a quasi Golgi-like image of
the neurons, providing a more intimate view of the neurons than can be obtained from
nissl staining. In addition, the background is essentially white, facilitating high-contrast
photography and allowing for gray-tone illustration without any loss of information.
The NeuN procedure does not stain axons, and since it does not stain glial cells or
their nuclei, the noise ordinarily generated in nissl stains by the presence of glial
cells among the neurons and in the white matter is entirely eliminated. The Forebrain
Atlas of the Short-tailed Fruit Bat also includes nissl stained sections for comparison.
Since it is known that NeuN is not expressed in certain neurons, such as Purkinje
cells, olfactory bulb mitral cells, and the cells of the paraventricular and supraoptic
nuclei, the nissl stained sections are also included to provide complementary views
of such structures
