Social interactions through the eyes of macaques and humans [PDF]

, 2013
Group-living primates frequently interact with each other to maintain social bonds as well as to compete for valuable resources. Observing such social interactions between group members provides individuals with essential information (e.g.

A single mutation in the ACTR8 gene associated with lineage-specific expression in primates

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Alternative splicing (AS) generates various transcripts from a single gene and thus plays a significant role in transcriptomic diversity and proteomic complexity.

Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) can use simple heuristics but fail at drawing statistical inferences from populations to samples [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Human infants, apes and capuchin monkeys engage in intuitive statistics: they generate predictions from populations of objects to samples based on proportional information. This suggests that statistical reasoning might depend on some core knowledge that

Vaccine innovation, translational research and the management of knowledge accumulation [PDF]

, 2012
What does it take to translate research into socially beneficial technologies like vaccines? Current policy that focuses on expanding research or strengthening incentives overlooks how the supply and demand of innovation is mediated by problem-solving ...

Ocular dominance columns in New World monkeys [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 1996
Squirrel monkeys normally lack ocular dominance columns in V1. This study shows that squirrel monkeys can exhibit clear ocular dominance columns if they are made strabismic within a few weeks of birth. Columns were seen only in layer 4C beta and were coarser than the overlying blob pattern in the same animal.
