Species-Specific miRNAs in Human Brain Development and Disease
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Identification of the unique features of human brain development and function can be critical towards the elucidation of intricate processes such as higher cognitive functions and human-specific pathologies like neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders.

Primate photopigments and primate color vision. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 The past 15 years have brought much progress in our understanding of several basic features of primate color vision. There has been particular success in cataloging the spectral properties of the cone photopigments found in retinas of a number of primate species and in elucidating the relationship between cone opsin genes and their photopigment ...

Primate archaeology evolves [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017 Since its inception, archaeology has traditionally focused exclusively on humans and our direct ancestors. However, recent years have seen archaeological techniques applied to material evidence left behind by non-human animals. Here, we review advances made by the most prominent field investigating past non-human tool use: primate archaeology.

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 ...

Fatal Infection of a Pet Monkey with Human herpesvirus 1
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Concerns have been raised about pet monkeys as a potential threat to humans. We report the opposite situation, a danger to pets that arises from humans.

Non-human primate model of long-COVID identifies immune associates of hyperglycemia
Nature CommunicationsHyperglycemia, and exacerbation of pre-existing deficits in glucose metabolism, are manifestations of the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2. Our understanding of metabolic decline after acute COVID-19 remains unclear due to the lack of animal models ...

Cutaneous thermoreceptors in primates and sub‐primates
The Journal of Physiology, 1969 1. Cutaneous thermoreceptors were examined electrophysiologically in primates (monkey, baboon) and in sub‐primates (dog and rat) by recording from single units dissected from peripheral nerves.2. Thermal stimuli were delivered from thermodes in contact with the skin.3. Primate ‘cold’ receptors had spot‐like receptive fields and were found in both hairy
