Non-human Primates and Communication

Non-human Primates

Introduction Less than 1⁄4 of one percent of all lab animals needed in the U.S. are non-human primates. Approximately 30 different species are studied by the research community.1 Many historic scientific breakthroughs, such as the discovery of the Rh factor and the development of a live polio virus vaccine were achieved through research with non-human primates. Today they are considered extreme...

Sparganosis in non-human primates.

CHAI , D. FARAH, I. & MUCHEMI , G. 1997. Sparganosis in non-human primates. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 64:243-244 Over a period of 15 years, the larval stages of Diphyllobothri id tapeworms of the genus Spirometra were found during routine necropsy in four of 3 007 non-human primates at the Institute of Primate Research (IPR) .

Experiments with Non-human Primates

J Rehabil Med Suppl 41, 2003 DOI 10.1080/16501960310010124 In this laboratory we have developed a set of techniques that randomized controlled studies indicate can substantially reduce the motor deficit of patients with mild to moderately severe chronic strokes. The techniques, termed Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CI therapy), involve motor restriction of the less-affected arm while at t...

Neuroimaging of Non-Human Primates

Welcome to this special issue of the Open Neuroimaging Journal which focuses on neuroimaging studies of nonhuman primates (NHPs) as presented by leaders in the field. NHPs are important animal models because of their genetic, ontogenic, and physiological similarities to humans. Research using NHPs has significantly advanced our understanding of neuroscience, neurodegerative disorders, aging and...
