Primate neuronal connections are sparse in cortex as compared to mouse
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Detailing how primate and mouse neurons differ is critical for creating generalized models of how neurons process information. We reconstruct 15,748 synapses in adult Rhesus macaques and mice and ask how connectivity differs on identified cell ...

Radioimmunoassay of human plasma Lp(a) lipoprotein
Journal of Lipid Research, 1977 A quantitative immunodiffusion assay demonstrated Lp(a) lipoprotein in 91% (911 of 1000) of subjects. In order to quantitate Lp(a) in all plasma, a sensitive and specific double antibody radioimmunoassay was developed.

Le jeu des illusions : discrimination entre apparence et réalité chez les primates
Revue de Primatologie, 2020 Perception is an essential process to gather information about our physical and social environment, and thus to adjust our behaviour to environmental changes. However, we are confronted every day with ambiguous situations in which things appear different

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2021 Environmental enrichment is widely used to improve the quality of life of animals under human care. To successfully implement enrichment programs, it is important to evaluate their effect in different enclosure types since housing conditions may change ...
