Does opportunistic testing bias cognitive performance in primates? Learning from drop-outs [PDF]
, 2019 Dropouts are a common issue in cognitive tests with non-human primates. One main reason for dropouts is that researchers often face a trade-off between obtaining a sufficiently large sample size and logistic restrictions, such as limited access to ...

Functional Organization of Visual Cortex in the Owl Monkey [PDF]
, 2004 In this study, we compared the organization of orientation preference in visual areas V1, V2, and V3. Within these visual areas, we also quantified the relationship between orientation preference and cytochrome oxidase (CO) staining patterns. V1 maps of

Small-molecule polymerase inhibitor protects non-human primates from measles and reduces shedding
Nature Communications, 2021 Measles virus is highly contagious and outbreaks occur worldwide. Here the authors show that the orally bioavailable small-molecule polymerase inhibitor ERDRP-0519 prevents measles disease in squirrel monkeys and reduces virus shedding.

Can squirrel monkeys learn an ABnA grammar? A re-evaluation of Ravignani et al. (2013) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Ravignani et al. (2013) habituated squirrel monkeys to sound sequences conforming to an ABnA grammar (n = 1, 2, 3), then tested them for their reactions to novel grammatical and non-grammatical sequences.
