Mole's Star

Product Information

Mole’s Star is a multi-layered story that will present adults and children alike with opportunities for exploring ecological and environmental issues, such as: to whom do the natural assets of the world belong? Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. This means that more than half of the brain is dedicated to processing sensory information acquired by this organ, even when the nose itself is only roughly 10% of the mole’s actual size.

It is associated with a Merkel cell- neurite complex at the base of the cell column, a lamellated corpuscle in the dermis just below the column and a series of free nerve endings that originate from myelinated fibers in the dermis, run through the central column and end in a ring of terminal swellings just below the outer keratinized skin surface. Electrophysiological experiments using electrodes placed on the cortex during stimulation of the body demonstrated that roughly 52% of the cortex is devoted to the nose. This may sound contradictory with the fact that this region has higher resolution and an important role in foraging behavior. Other important fact of the representation of the star in the cerebral cortex is that each hemisphere had clearly visible set of 11 stripes representing the contralateral star.A magical story about learning to share the wonders of the world, from multi-award-winning author-illustrator Britta Teckentrup. Also, recent studies of Catania and colleagues identified one North American species ( Scapanus townsendii) with a set of proto-appendages extending caudally on the snout which exhibit a striking resemblance to the embryonic stages of the star-nosed mole, [27] although Scapanus townsendii has only eight subdivisions on its face, rather than the 22 appendages found on the star-nosed mole.

In the story we can empathise with Mole who loves sitting on his favourite rock each night to gaze at the beauty of stars.

Stimuli cause depolarization of the receptor membrane, resulting in a receptor potential and therefore a current towards the node of Ranvier. Eimer’s organ is a sensory structure also found in nearly all of the approximately 30 species of mole, [20] however none contains as many as in Condylura.
