Aging-Related Behavioral Patterns in Tibetan Macaques. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2023 Aging can induce changes in social behaviors among humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs). Therefore, investigating the aging process in primate species can provide valuable evidence regarding age-related concerns in humans. However, the link between aging and behavioral patterns in nonhuman primates remains poorly comprehended.
