Method for acute Neuropixels probe recordings in non-human primates
… rodents, however, and widespread use in larger non-human primates (NHPs) such as rhesus macaques has been limited. There are two overarching challenges that impede acute NP implantation in NHPs: (1) traditional microdrive systems that mount to cephalic chambers that are commonly used to access …

Cortical Representation of Learning Social Interactions In Freely Moving Non-Human Primates
… and capacity to be social is necessary for human survival. Successful learning of complex, prosocial behavior stems from the ability to perceive and respond to visual cues, such as the body language and facial expressions, from others in our environment. This dependence on visual information …

Evaluating Longitudinal Motor Recovery in Non-Human Primates after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
… motor impairment that affect quality of life. Non-human primates (NHP) closely resemble human neuroanatomy and physiology, making them valuable for translational stroke research. Neurobehavioral assessment of NHPs following stroke is critical for understanding recovery patterns, evaluating …

Effect of caregiving behaviors and genetic predispositions on human and non-human primates development
… by the fact that when the interaction is non-adaptive, infants’ development may be severely hindered in various domains, such as cognitive, social, and emotional. Moreover, the quality of the early interaction with caregivers has long-lasting effects since it constitutes a lens through …

DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S-LIKE PATHOLOGY IN NON-HUMAN PRIMATES WITH REDUCED LEVELS OF NOREPINEPHRINE
… disease, which accounts for the majority of human cases. To ascertain the role of the noradrenergic system on the development of amyloid pathology and amyloid-β synthesis pathway, female non-human primates received injection of 40 mg/kg of the neurotoxin DSP4 …

Following the LINEs (Long INterspersed Elements): human specific L1 elements and their orthologous loci in non-human primates
… Elements (LINEs) consists exclusively of human-specific L1 elements with a copy number of ~520 in the human genome. Four hundred sixty-eight L1 Ta elements were extracted from the draft human genomic sequence and screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to determine their …

The vertebral column in humans and selected non-human primates and the functional structure of its transitional elements
… analyses to the thoracic vertebral column of primates. Vertebral counts are conducted and vertebral patterns examined. The sample for morphometric measurements consists of 112 humans, 27 gorillas, 22 champanzees, 8 orang-utans, 68 vervets and 77 baboons but for the counts the numbers are much …

Patterns of Affiliation and Co -Operation in Howler Monkeys: An Alternative Model to Explain Social Organization in Non -Human Primates
This dissertation addresses questions concerning the evolution of primate sociality and factors that constrain the size, composition, cohesiveness, and interactions among individuals living in a social group. Although it has been suggested that feeding competition, aggression, and predator …

Monkey see, monkey do? An intercultural exploration of the dynamics between humans and non-human primates in a professional animal research setting
… an exploration of the perceptions of a group of humans in interaction with a group of non-human primates in a professional animal research setting. The study is a novel investigation in the field of intercultural relations, exploring the values and beliefs of a group of research employees, and …

The role of ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in physiological and behavioural dysfunction in non-human primates, of relevance to mood and anxiety disorders
… in depression- and anxiety-like behaviour in a non-human primate, the common marmoset. Depressed patients show hyperactivity in area 25, and hyperactivity and hypoactivity of area 46 in the right and left hemispheres respectively. Moreover, these two seemingly unrelated regions, one involved in …

Mapping and modeling macrophages in tuberculosis
… macrophages within tuberculosis granulomas from non-human primates. We introduce and apply a framework for identifying possible signaling cues contributing to these states using ex vivo-generated macrophage models. To extend these findings, we identify conserved gene programs underpinning …

Preparing The Yucatan Black Howler Monkey for Its Return to The Wild: An Assessment of Wildtracks' Approach to Rehabilitation and Reintroduction
Nearly half of non-human primates are in danger of extinction due to the negative impact of anthropogenic activities. Among the species most negatively affected is the family Atelidae (Di Fiore, Link, & Campbell, 2011). For this reason, non-human primates remain a central focus in global …

Phylogenetics and New Approaches to Vaccine Development for West Nile
… and the United States in the west. The first human cases of WNV in the United States were detected in New York in 1999. The North American isolates were also found to be highly neuroinvasive and neurovirulent and in many cases leading to mortality or permanent CNS sequelae among humans. WNV …

Molecular Characterization of Animal Strains of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV): Avian HEV and Swine HEV
… HEV are genetically and antigenically related to human HEV, and that pigs and chickens are useful animal models to study HEV replication, pathogenesis and cross-species infection. The objectives of this dissertation were to genetically characterize both avian HEV and swine HEV, to determine their …
