Behavioral Control of Seizures in Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus)
… to theorize on sudden death. Procedures: eleven Squirrel monkeys were surgically implanted with depth electrodes. Electroencephalographic recordings were made and 38 days later lesions of the nodosa ganglia were created. Seizures were punished with electro stimulation and desirable behavior was …

Eye movement studies with a vestibular prosthesis/
… was used to probe the high frequency VOR in squirrel monkeys and guinea pigs. In two studies, modulated stimulation was applied acutely to characterize the VOR between 1.5 and 701 Hz. A third study characterized the VOR response to chronic stimulation with a constant rate of 250 Hz. The VOR …

Behavioral Mechanisms of Δ9-THC in Nonhuman Primates
… in one laboratory using New World primates (squirrel monkeys). In Chapter 2, THC and the synthetic cannabinoid agonist CP55,940 were made available for SA in Old World monkeys, a species more closely related to humans, by using similar parameters deemed successful in squirrel monkeys. …

Roles Of Inhibitory Interneurons In Cerebellar Cortical Processing For Oculomotor Control
… project. This included writing software to train squirrel monkeys and control a variety of vestibulo-oculomotor tasks, characterizing the oculomotor behavioral repertoire of the squirrel monkey in comparison to that of the rhesus macaque, and developing two techniques for examining the roles of …

DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S-LIKE PATHOLOGY IN NON-HUMAN PRIMATES WITH REDUCED LEVELS OF NOREPINEPHRINE
… β-hydroxylase was detected in aged rhesus monkeys after DSP4. Distribution of amyloid identified by 6E10 was exacerbated in squirrel monkeys following DSP4 and elevated in aged rhesus monkeys after DSP4; additionally DSP4 increased the amyloid-β42 to amyloid-β40 ratio in aged rhesus …

Visualizing Protease Activation, Retrochmp3 Activity, and VPR Recruitment During HIV-1 Assembly
… The retroCHMP3 protein was originally found in squirrel monkeys and is a truncated and mutated version of the endogenous CHMP3 ESCRT protein. Data from the Sundquist lab shows that retroCHMP3 inhibits the budding of many ESCRT-dependent viruses, including HIV-1, while not preventing essential …

Social, ecological, and developmental influences on fruit and invertebrate foraging strategies and gut microbial communities in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus)
… New World monkey species, with the exception of squirrel monkeys, with 29 Orders, 90 Families, and 287 genera of invertebrates identified in their diet. Finally, chapter four examines how changes in fruit and invertebrate foraging behavior and dietary choice influence gut microbial community …

Habitat modification and gene flow in Saimiri oerstedii: Landscape genetics, intraspecific molecular systematics, and conservation
… and dispersal patterns in the Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii, Primates: Cebidae), a New World primate threatened with extinction and living in a heterogeneous, human-modified landscape, using analyses that explicitly consider matrix heterogeneity. I focus on the more …
