Causes of Death of Rhesus Monkeys Undergoing Liver Transplantation

As non-human primates have similar pathophysiological reactions to humans, experimental data evaluating acute rejection reactions following liver transplantation in rhesus monkeys are clinically significant. However, the success rate and long-term survival rate are low, and post-transplant death is one of the major factors influencing survival in rhesus monkeys undergoing experimental liver tra...

Self-agency in rhesus monkeys.

Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) have shown the ability to monitor their own mental states, but fail the mirror self-recognition test. In humans, the sense of self-agency is closely related to self-awareness, and results from monitoring the relationship between intentional, sensorimotor and perceptual information. Humans and rhesus monkeys were trained to move a computer icon with a joystick whi...

Condylar growth in rhesus monkeys.

The advent of autoradiography has made it possible to add information on cellular dynamics to histologic observations of morphologic details reported in previous studies.1Condylar growth has been studied extensively in rodents by autoradiographic technics.';-' Since the temporomandibular joint and masticatory function in the rhesus monkey more clearly resemble the human situation, cellular dyna...

Spontaneous Metacognition in Rhesus Monkeys.

Metacognition is the ability to think about thinking. Although monitoring and controlling one's knowledge is a key feature of human cognition, its evolutionary origins are debated. In the current study, we examined whether rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta; N = 120) could make metacognitive inferences in a one-shot decision. Each monkey experienced one of four conditions, observing a human appeari...
