Demographic Histories of ERV-K in Humans, Chimpanzees and Rhesus Monkeys
We detected 19 complete endogenous retroviruses of the K family in the genome of rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta; RhERV-K) and 12 full length elements in the genome of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes; CERV-K). These sequences were compared with 55 human HERV-K and 20 CERV-K reported previously, producing a total data set of 106 full-length ERV-K genomes. Overall, 61% of the human elements ...
متن کاملNormo- and Hypercholesterolemic Rhesus Monkeys and Humans
Density gradient centrifugation was used to characterize the lipoprotein distribution of rhesus monkeys and human subjects with normal and elevated cholesterol levels. The lipoprotein profile of control monkeys differed from that of normal humans in that their density distribution as a whole was shifted to lower density. The most striking difference was that both rhesus high density lipoprotein...
متن کاملDynamics of accommodative fatigue in rhesus monkeys and humans
Changes in accommodative dynamics with repeated accommodation were studied in three anesthetized rhesus monkeys and two conscious humans. Maximum accommodation was centrally stimulated via the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in monkeys with a 4 s on, 4 s off paradigm (4 x 4) for 17 min, 4 x 1.5 for 27 min and 2 x 1 for 16 min. Humans accommodated repeatedly to visual targets (5 x 5; 5D and 2 x 2; 6D) ...
متن کاملColor-detection thresholds in rhesus macaque monkeys and humans.
Macaque monkeys are a model of human color vision. To facilitate linking physiology in monkeys with psychophysics in humans, we directly compared color-detection thresholds in humans and rhesus monkeys. Colors were defined by an equiluminant plane of cone-opponent color space. All subjects were tested on an identical apparatus with a four-alternative forced-choice task. Targets were 2° square, ...
متن کاملVisual Short-Term Memory Compared in Rhesus Monkeys and Humans
Change detection is a popular task to study visual short-term memory (STM) in humans [1-4]. Much of this work suggests that STM has a fixed capacity of 4 ± 1 items [1-6]. Here we report the first comparison of change-detection memory between humans and a species closely related to humans, the rhesus monkey. Monkeys and humans were tested in nearly identical procedures with overlapping display s...
