Development of an optogenetic toolkit for neural circuit dissection in squirrel monkeys [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Optogenetic tools have opened a rich experimental landscape for understanding neural function and disease. Here, we present the first validation of eight optogenetic constructs driven by recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors and a WGA-Cre ...

Using Social Network Analysis to Assess ‘Groupness’ in a Mixed-Species Zoo Exhibit of Tufted Capuchins (Sapajus apella) and Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) [PDF]
AnimalsMixed-species groups have been recorded in various primates, including tufted capuchin and squirrel monkeys. Measures of their ‘groupness’ are typically based on factors such as group stability, social interactions, proximity, or behavioural coordination.

Introduced Monkey Populations of Florida - History, Status, and Potential Impacts
EDIS, 2022 At least nine populations of non-human primates have established in Florida since the 1930s. These include three species: rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus), and squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sp.).

Striatal dopamine D2/3 receptor regulation by stress inoculation in squirrel monkeys
Neurobiology of Stress, 2016 Intermittent mildly stressful situations provide opportunities to learn, practice, and improve coping in a process called stress inoculation. Stress inoculation also enhances cognitive control and response inhibition of impulsive motivated behavior ...

Dissecting the mechanisms of squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis) social learning [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Although the social learning abilities of monkeys have been well documented, this research has only focused on a few species. Furthermore, of those that also incorporated dissections of social learning mechanisms, the majority studied either capuchins ...

Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids.
