Preliminary Assessment of Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) Cognition Using Digital Cognition Testing Software and Touchscreen Technology [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2023 Studies of nonhuman primate cognition have traditionally employed subjects from the monkey (Cercopithecoidea) and ape (Hominidae) lineages, with relatively much less examination of the phylogenetically intermediate gibbons (Hylobatidae).

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection. [PDF]
BioessaysEmbryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Shape Ontogeny of the Distal Femur in the Hominidae with Implications for the Evolution of Bipedality. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Heterochrony has been invoked to explain differences in the morphology of modern humans as compared to other great apes. The distal femur is one area where heterochrony has been hypothesized to explain morphological differentiation among Plio-Pleistocene

Identification of Two Rare Variants in Iranian Families With Familial Sudden Cardiac Death. [PDF]
Int J GenomicsCellular action potential is characterized by a particular sequence of depolarizing and repolarizing ion currents regulated by ion channels. Genetic mutations in these channels disrupt the essential movement of ions, such as Na+, Ca++, and K+, across the cell membrane, leading to dangerous arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).
