The evolutionary history of canids and felids is marked by a deep time separation that has uniquely shaped their behavior and phenotype toward refined predatory abilities. The caudate nucleus is a subcortical brain structure associated with both motor control and cognitive, emotional, and executive functions. We used a combination of three-dimensional imaging, allometric scaling, and structural analyses to compare the size and shape characteristics of the caudate nucleus.

- Lead (Pb) is a neurotoxicant linked to neurological diseases like Alzheimer's, prompting a study on its brain distribution and interaction with metals.
- Researchers exposed mice to Pb, analyzed brain tissue using synchrotron micro-x-ray fluorescence, and found significantly higher Pb levels in their brains compared to controls.
- The study discovered that Pb particles were smaller than 10 micrometers and that selenium (Se) was correlated with Pb, suggesting Se may mitigate Pb's neurotoxic effects, warranting further investigation into their relationship and implications for Alzheimer's.
