Development of body, head and brain features in the Australian fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae); A postnatal model of forebrain formation. by Rodrigo Suárez, Annalisa Paolino, Peter Kozulin, Laura R Fenlon, Laura R Morcom, Robert Englebright, Patricia J O'Hara, Peter J Murray, Linda J Richards

“…However, as the cerebral cortex forms largely prenatally, observation and manipulation of its development has required invasive and/or ex vivo procedures. Marsupials, on the other hand, are born at comparatively earlier stages of development and most events of forebrain formation occur once attached to the teat, thereby permitting continuous and non-invasive experimental access. …”
