Bayesian Learning of Loglinear Models for Neural Connectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 This paper presents a Bayesian approach to learning the connectivity structure of a group of neurons from data on configuration frequencies. A major objective of the research is to provide statistical tools for detecting changes in firing patterns with changing stimuli.

Novel adeno-associated viruses from rhesus monkeys as vectors for human gene therapy
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2002 Tissues from rhesus monkeys were screened by PCR for the presence of sequences homologous to known adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotypes 1–6. DNA spanning entire rep-cap ORFs from two novel AAVs, called AAV7 and AAV8, were isolated. Sequence comparisons

A random encounter model for wildlife density estimation with vertically oriented camera traps
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The random encounter model for estimating mammal densities from camera‐trap data was modified to accommodate setups with vertically oriented camera traps, which are less sensitive to vandalism and theft. A trial in Bardiya National Park, Nepal, indicated that the modified model produces credible results.

BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) are widely-used as experimental animals in biomedical research and are closely related to other laboratory macaques, such as cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), and to humans, sharing a last common ...

Activity Modulation of Motor and Somatosensory Neurons in Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The cortical processes involved in learning are not well understood. Recent experiments have studied population-level response in the orofacial somatosensory (S1) and motor (S1) cortices of rhesus macaque monkeys during adaptation to a simple tongue protrusion task within and across multiple learning sessions.

Direct Cortical Control of Primate Whole-Body Navigation in a Mobile Robotic Wheelchair [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We and others have previously developed brain-machine-interfaces (BMIs), which allowed ensembles of cortical neurons to control artificial limbs (1-4). However, it is unclear whether cortical ensembles could operate a BMI for whole-body navigation. Here we show that rhesus monkeys can learn to navigate a robotic wheelchair while seated on top of it ...

Mitigating Gyral Bias in Cortical Tractography via Asymmetric Fiber Orientation Distributions [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Diffusion tractography in brain connectomics often involves tracing axonal trajectories across gray-white matter boundaries in gyral blades of complex cortical convolutions. To date, gyral bias is observed in most tractography algorithms with streamlines predominantly terminating at gyral crowns instead of sulcal banks.

Computational aberration compensation by coded aperture-based correction of aberration obtained from Fourier ptychography (CACAO-FP) [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We report a novel generalized optical measurement system and computational approach to determine and correct aberrations in optical systems. We developed a computational imaging method capable of reconstructing an optical system's aberration by harnessing Fourier ptychography (FP) with no spatial coherence requirement.

Stable isotope analysis reveals individual variations in feeding habits among wild Japanese macaques
Ecological Research, EarlyView.In this study, we conducted a dietary analysis using stable isotopes on the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) group on Koshima Island, Japan. As a result, we clarified the variation in isotope ratios at the individual level, and indicated that this variation is affected by attributes such as sex or dominance‐subordinate relationships in this group ...
