Isoodon macrourus

The early VN neurones migrate by various routes and in mammals become organised into two layers, each with distinct functional attributes (Chaps. 2 and 6). Amongst marsupials, the sensory cells of an opossum appear at about one-week post-conception (Jia and Halpem, 1998). Despite their extremely altricial developmental pattern, the bandicoots dendrites produce sensory processes (Fig. 4.5) on the lumenal border of the VNO at 35 days postnatal, which in the Northern Bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus) is about 50% of pouch life (Kratzing, 1986).
