Squirrel monkey (Saimiri spp.) research and resources.
The first reports of the use of squirrel monkeys in research were published about 65 yr ago (Kliiver 1933). The early work of Kliiver at the University of Chicago provided the first description of housing methods and experimental use of squirrel monkeys. In 1947, the first births in captivity were reported (Kliiver and Brunschwig 1947); and 2 yr later, the National Heart Institute awarded the f...
متن کاملRole of the squirrel monkey in parasitic disease research.
Much controversy exists regarding the species of the squirrel monkey. Napier and Napier (Whitney 1995) divide the squirrel monkeys into two species: Saimiri sciureus and Saimiri osterdii; the former is used in biomedical research. Hershkovitz prefers to use two groups of Saimiri based on facial characteristics and other factors, which include "Roman" and "Gothic" types. He suggests four species...
متن کاملCholesterol metabolism in rhesus monkey, squirrel monkey, and baboon.
The metabolism of cholesterol was studied in baboons, rhesus monkeys, and squirrel monkeys while they were being fed either a low fat, low cholesterol (basal) diet or the basal diet supplemented with saturated fat and cholesterol (atherogenic diet). When the diet was changed from basal to atherogenic, the mean total serum cholesterol concentration increased from 70 to 180 mg/dl in the baboon, f...
متن کاملStereopsis and binocularity in the squirrel monkey
The squirrel monkey lacks anatomically demonstrable ocular dominance columns, and physiologically it has an ocular dominance distribution in V1 that is very different from that of macaques, with far fewer cells that strongly favor one eye over the other. We tested an alert squirrel monkey for physiological responses to stereoscopic stimuli by measuring evoked potentials in response to cytclopea...
متن کاملExperimental ocular siderosis in the squirrel monkey.
An iron-containing foreign body retained in the eye may result in siderotic damage to several ocular structures. When the retina is sufficiently damaged, the electroretinogram (ERG) becomes non-recordable. The pathogenesis of retinal damage has not been com pletely studied, and available histopathologic material is mainly of end-stage retinal le sions in eyes that were damaged severely enough...
