Empathising With Animals: Non-Human Subjectivity In Documentary Film
This practice-based research explains how non-human subjectivity can be suggested in documentary film and identifies film techniques that allow a spectator to empathise with an onscreen animal. It argues that a spectator cannot be told to feel empathy, and instead should be offered an experience …

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 …

Objects in Protest: Bread and Puppet Theater's (Non)Human Solidarities
… complex assemblages that blur lines between the human and the nonhuman. Drawing upon cultural studies, feminist materialism, circus studies, and puppetry studies, I consider both the bread and the puppets as they intersect with various assemblages and fields of interpretation. These …

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 …

A comparative microscopic study of human and non-human long bone histology.
Identification of human or nonhuman skeletal remains is important in assisting the police and law enforcement officers for the investigation of forensic cases. Identification of bone can be difficult, especially in fragmented remains. It has been reported that 25 to 30% of medicolegal cases, which …

A non-human primate model of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex dysfunction in schizophrenia
Spatial working memory (SWM) impairment is a key cognitive symptom of schizophrenia, for which no effective treatment currently exists. In order to develop new treatments, we must better understand how these deficits arise from structural and functional changes within the neural circuits supporting …

Optogenetic disruption of memory-drive, oculomotor behavior in the non-human primate
Pharmacological inactivation studies have shown that the frontal eye field (FEF) is critical for executing saccades to remembered locations. FEF neurons increase their firing rate during the three epochs of the memory-guided saccade task: visual stimulus presentation, the delay interval, and motor …

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 …

Influence of Antithymoglobulins on Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in perfused non-human primate tissues
… brachiale Arterie mit Blutgruppen-kompatiblen Humanblut reperfundiert. Dem mit Krebs-Henseleit-Puffer auf einen Hämatokrit von 30% verdünntem Blut wurden ATGs 20 Minuten vor der Reperfusion zugefügt. Die Perfusion wurde mit Hilfe eines Perfusionssystems rezirkulierend durchgeführt. Die …

Elements of episodic-like memory in non-human animals: theory, methodology, and evolution
… results in profound losses to the typical human conscious experience. The debate surrounding its uniqueness to humans has seen a lot of controversy, but as evidence for conscious episodic recall in humans is centred around language-based reports, major issues arise when investigating its …

Trophoblast specification and differentiation potential in early human and non-human primate embryogenesis
… which sustains fetal growth and development. Human embryo implantation and early trophoblast development have remained elusive due to the inaccessibility of early implantation stages. The conservation of trophoblast development between humans and non-human primates provides an exciting …

Indigenous worldviews meet Western paradigms: a path to renewal of human/non-human relationships
… Western and Indigenous worldviews regarding our human relationship with more-than-human nature. Issues of discrimination and epistemic injustice are contextualised with existing minority and intersectional thought, and distinguished from particular incommensurabilities between the two worldviews …

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

Politics, infrastructure and non-human subjects: The Inka occupation of the Amaybamba cloud forests
… Not only was it central to exchanges between humans, but also with the most important non-human powers of the Inka world. These powers included major landscape entities, such as the mountains (apukuna) and other kinds of earth beings (often in the form of rock outcrops, or lakes, known as …

Dog owner interaction style: the transmission of working models in human/non-human caregiving relationships
… the potential effects of owner behaviour on the human/dog bond. The results could be used in assessing owner dog relationships that may indicate risk of animal/human abuse; assist dog shelters in the successful re-homing of insecure dogs by identifying secure households; and to enable greater …

Cerebral blood flow in the non-human primate : an in vivo model and drug interventions
… and dementia. Due to the similarities between humans and non-human primates with respect to their brains, both structurally and behaviourally, numerous studies have been conducted and several non-human primate models have been developed for physiological, pathological, pharmacological, and …
