ET) today on "Virtually Speaking," a show that's available via Second Life, BlogTalkRadio and iTunes. Elefante marino vs. Orcas en Argentina. TIBURONES BLANCOS.- National Geographic.- "The Anatomical Record Part A: Discoveries in Molecular, Cellular, and Evolutionary Biology". The authors thank Ilya I. Glezer and Peter J. Morgane for their generous donation of the specimen, John I. Johnson for advice and assistance with neuroanatomical identifications, and John C. Gentile for MRI technical assistance. I'll be talking about Pluto and planethood at 6 p.m. PT / SLT (9 p.m. Images are 2 mm thick with a matrix size of 512 × 512 and in‐plane resolution of 32 × 32 cm yielding a voxel size of 0.63 × 0.63 × 2.0 mm. Figures 11–18 display a ventral‐to‐dorsal sequence of anatomically labeled originally acquired 2 mm thick axial scans at 20 mm intervals.

TIBURON BLANCO VS COCODRILO MARINO - El tiburon contra el cocodrilo - Tiburon blanco vs orca - Duration: 13:14. Frohoff suggested that Tilikum, the orca who was involved in the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau at the SeaWorld aquarium in Orlando, Fla., may have been suffering from the cetacean equivalent of anxiety disorder. Therefore, much is known about their behavior, cognitive abilities, and social ecology. Contiguous T2‐weighted coronal and axial magnetic resonance images were acquired with a 1.5 T GE high‐gradient MRI scanner equipped with 8.3 software at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. There are also intriguing differences. "Because of the previous incidents, he has been kept in isolation most of the time - except for breeding," Susan Berta, co-founder of the Orca Network in Washington state, told me. 13:14. Feel free to weigh in with your comments below. The lack of information on killer whale brains is likely due to the difficulties associated with preparing and examining such a large brain (approximately 5,000 g). The topographical arrangement of cortical maps in cetaceans is very different from other mammals (Lende and Welker, 1972; Sokolov et al., 1972; Ladygina et al., 1978; Supin et al., 1978) and it remains a possibility that the insula and surrounding operculum are serving an entirely different purpose in the killer whale than in other mammals. And dolphins? The killer whale brain demonstrates many of the proportions and spatial arrangements of midbrain structures found in other odontocetes. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. This is primarily due to the fact that bottlenose dolphins are popular in captivity and have been the focus of many long‐term field studies. The act of capture alone, let alone the sustained and chronic stress that he is subjected to, could easily be responsible for that. 3–5, 15, and 16). There are, however, no published descriptions of the basic neuroanatomy of the killer whale. Number of times cited according to CrossRef: Large Brains in Small Tanks: Intelligence and Social Complexity as an Ethical Issue for Captive Dolphins and Whales. Marino suggested that Tilikum and other captive orcas could be rehabilitated to return to the wild, or at least go to marine sanctuaries (like the one that sheltered Keiko, a.k.a. 2–7, 16, and 17). Here's some additional background on animal intelligence: Join the Cosmic Log corps by signing up as my Facebook friend or hooking up on Twitter. Therefore, if we wish to understand the neurobiological basis of such abilities, we will need to further our understanding of the brains of killer whales. This pattern is consistent with Ridgway and Brownson (1984), who found a positive relationship between surface area and brain weight among odontocetes, including the killer whale, bottlenose dolphin, and common dolphin. Elefante marino vs. Orcas en Argentina. Axial scans were acquired using TR = 700 and TE = 15 msec with an echo train of 2. The killer whale brain is also approximately 3.5 and 6.5 times more massive than that of the bottlenose dolphin and common dolphin brains, respectively. Although a quantitative assessment was not made, the killer whale cerebral hemispheres appear more highly convoluted, possessing more surface area, than those of smaller species within the same family of delphinids such as the bottlenose dolphin (Marino et al., 2001a) and the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) (Marino et al., 2002). Orca intelligence hasn't been studied as intensively as the intelligence of bottlenose dolphins, but orca EQ has been pegged at around 2.5. SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau is shown while performing on Dec. 30, 2005. dragged his human trainer into the water and killed her, American Association for the Advancement of Science, cited as factors contributing to the Tilikum tragedy, halt to practices such as dolphin drive hunting, Bird brains? The proportions of the cerebellum in the killer whale brain are consistent with those in other odontocetes (Marino et al., 2001a, 2001b, 2002, 2003a, 2003b) as well as with the quantitative finding that the cerebellum makes up a significantly larger portion of the total brain mass in cetaceans than in primates (Marino et al., 2000). The Anatomical Record and Whales: We're Peas in the Same Pod. And if you really want to be friendly, ask me about "The Case for Pluto." During the AAAS meeting, Reiss, Marino and other scientists called for a halt to practices such as dolphin drive hunting and the capture of dolphins, including orcas. That would be particularly stressful for a species so tied to family life that each pod has its own dialect of calls. Experts on marine mammals say that dolphins - including "killer whales," which are more properly called orcas - rank among the most intelligent species on the planet. Trionix83 735,586 views. Report. Working off-campus? One measure is known as the encephalization quotient, or EQ, which quantifies the size of a species' brain compared with what would be expected based on body size alone. Given the fact that various sounds are modified by structures associated with the control of air flow through the nasal region, it is a speculative but not altogether unreasonable possibility that the cetacean operculum could serve a similar function as the speech‐related opercular cortex in humans. One ethicist, Thomas White of Loyola Marymount University, said the mammals' behavior and neurophysiology suggested that they had "all of the traits that philosophers traditionally require for persons." The corpus callosum appears relatively small with respect to the mass of the hemispheres (Figs. Toni Frohoff, research director at TerraMar Research, is confident that orcas are not dumb animals. People do swim with them or get among them in very small inflatables and boats, and there has yet to be an incident. The insula mediates viscerosensation, gustation, and some somatosensation in most mammals. 2, 3, and 16), putamen (Figs. The figures show that the gross morphology of the killer whale brain is generally comparable to that of other odontocete brains (Morgane et al., 1980; Marino et al., 2001a, 2001b, 2002, 2003a, 2003b). Section 10. All identifiable anatomical structures of the dolphin brain were labeled in the coronal and axial plane images. In humans, the frontal operculum is involved in speech. This juxtaposition of a vastly reduced archicortex and a highly elaborated periarchicortical zone leads to interesting questions about whether there was a transfer of hippocampus‐like functions to other cortical, including periarchicortical, regions. (1980) as well as published neuroanatomical atlases based on MRI scans of other adult odontocete brains (Marino et al., 2001a, 2001b, 2002, 2003a, 2003b). The brain was obtained shortly after death of natural causes and was immersion‐fixed in a large volume of 10% buffered formalin for an extended period of time. Diffusion tensor imaging of dolphin brains reveals direct auditory pathway to temporal lobe. 3 and 4), and the cortical limbic lobe (periarchicortical field above the corpus callosum and entorhinal cortex; Figs. It has been hypothesized that this arrangement is not only unique to cetaceans but due to the distinctive flexed posture of the midbrain in adult cetaceans (Marino et al., 2001a, 2002, 2003a, 2003b; Johnson et al., 2003). Some might wonder why Tilikum was still at SeaWorld after those earlier deaths. Lateralization of spatial relationships between wild mother and infant orcas, Orcinus orca. The killer whale brain appears extremely elaborated in the insular cortex, surrounding operculum, and limbic lobe. Brancheau was killed during an encounter with an orca at SeaWorld on Wednesday.
