Vicarious Reinforcement in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
What happens to others profoundly influences our own behavior. Such other-regarding outcomes can drive observational learning, as well as motivate cooperation, charity, empathy, and even spite. Vicarious reinforcement may serve as one of the critical mechanisms mediating the influence of other-regarding outcomes on behavior and decision-making in groups. Here we show that rhesus macaques sponta...
متن کاملgamma-photon irradiated rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have been used as non-human primate (NHP) models for a number of stress-related situations [1, 8, 9, 11, 16, 17, 21]. A key aspect of United States (US) animal welfare regulations [18, 19] is that pain, distress, and discomfort should be minimized whenever possible. The refinement of our experimental procedures is an important technique to improve animal welfare...
متن کاملFour preanesthetic oral sedation protocols for rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
The efficacies and ease of administration of four oral preanesthetic sedation protocols were compared in 18 adult, male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) to achieve heavy sedation and alleviate anxiety, agitation, and potential trauma associated with remote anesthesia induction. The macaques, with average age and weight of 10 yr and 12.5 kg, respectively, were randomly assigned to one of four gr...

متن کاملGenetic characterization of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Nepal.
Indian-origin rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have long served as an animal model for the study of human disease and behavior. Given the current shortage of Indian-origin rhesus, many researchers have turned to rhesus macaques from China as a substitute. However, a number of studies have identified marked genetic differences between the Chinese and Indian animals. We investigated the genetic c...
