It is found in three species of macaques—the Asian Old World monkeys??but not in sooty mangabeys, which are African Old World monkeys that are the closest relative to the macaques. Based on these facts, researchers estimated that the gene appeared between five and ten million years ago, Johnson said...
...exceptional works. Simple shapes form the jagged stone face of a mountain peak brushed with white snow. Gusong uses an unusual subtractive technique. After applying black ink to paper, he pulls out selected fibers, leaving the underlying white paper behind. Chen Qikuan’s playful “Monkeys?? depicts four monkeys and a parent in curving strokes of black ink. From afar, I mistook it for a Chinese character. Qikuan, who studied calligraphy as a child, forms his visual pun with an ordinary subject and traditional, pithy strokes. This extension of tradition pushes the bounds...
...resulted in choice deficiencies such as eating disorders and excessive gambling, the new study pinpointed specific neurons involved in the process. “Our work can potentially be applied to rational and irrational human behavior,” Padoa-Schioppa said. The study was conducted by testing macaque monkeys?? responses to varying quantities of grape juice and apple juice. They were found to prefer the grape flavor over apple, and larger quantities over smaller ones. When the monkeys were making the choices, specific neurons in the OFC showed increasing levels of activity in correlation to values assigned...
...research assistant Fiery A. Cushman ’03, “Marshmallows are bar-none their favorite things on earth.” Pinker and Goodall live in Harvard’s Cognitive Evolution Laboratory along with about 25 other monkeys named after prominent scientists and researchers. The monkeys??both endangered cotton-top tamarins and common marmosets—live a peaceful co-existence under the direction of Professor of Psychology Marc D. Hauser. Hauser, who founded the lab on the tenth floor of William James Hall, started the tradition of bestowing illustrious names on the primates...
CHAVI doctors under Letvin’s command will inject mice and “non-human primates”—monkeys??with synthetic forms of the virus in order to analyze the immune system’s response in the hours just after the infection, when the body is still producing antibodies...
