“…The tunnel was mounted horizontally or vertically to simulate floor or wall, and the geckos were induced to move along it from one end to another. To describe the motion clearly and be in accord with our previous work, we define the reference frame following the stereotaxic method (Wang et al, 2008). We take the underside of tunnel in the three-dimensional locomotion observation system as the horizontal plane (body plane).…”

“…For horizontal locomotion, the tunnel was placed horizontally and the geckos were induced to move along from one end to the other, while for the vertical experiments the tunnel was mounted vertically and geckoes induced to move up from bottom to top. To describe the motion clearly and be in accord with our previous work, we define the references coordinates following the stereotaxic method [33] . We take the underside of tunnel in the three-dimensional locomotion observation system as the horizontal plane (body plane).…”

“…The advantages of using small reptiles as laboratory models (Table 3 ) include its high availability in the wild (allowing for the establishment of laboratory colonies which are continuously replenished with wild stock to obtain field-relevant laboratory studies), the variety of life history traits between species, their close phylogenetic relationship with birds (forming the most basal extant amniotes), and ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness without sacrificing ecological relevance (Lovern et al, 2004 ). Moreover, brain atlases are also present for A. carolinensis (Greenberg, 1982 ), Gallotia galloti (Del Corral et al, 1990 ) and Gekko gekko (Wang et al, 2008 ).…”
