    The nervous system of Anniyas is a complicated network of nerve cells interlaced with one another and specialized cells performing one of the most complex functions in the bodies of Anniya. The nervous system serves as a network of communication to many organs of the body, and it also functions as a control system to maintain homeostasis of the Anniyas’ bodies. It controls numerous body activities through stimuli, hormones, and other methods. As the internal and external environment change, the nervous

    central components of the limbic system compromise of the limbic cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, fornix and mammillary bodies. The limbic system also currently involves cortical and non-cortical brain structures such as diencephalon, brainstem and the forebrain. The diencephalon compromises of the thalamus and the hypothalamus, the forebrain includes the basal ganglia and amygdala while the function of the brainstem is to form a connection between the cerebrum and the spinal cord.

FPV is highly stable in the environment and endemic in many cat populations specifically in kittens (Jakel). The replication of the parvovirus genome occurs in the nucleus of the cell which requires the cell to be in the S-phase of the cell cycle. This is because this genome relies on the host's cell mechanism to form intermediates of double-stranded

    molecular clocks. Light might also impact on other possible photosensitive and circadian structures in the ventral diencephalon (POA and hypothalamic area) and peripheral organs. In response to the photoperiodic information, the retina and the pineal organ elaborate two types of rhythmic information. The neural information (blue arrows) from the retina and pineal organ reach the ventral diencephalon through the retinohypothalamic and the pineal tracts, respectively. This information provides an indication
