| erythrocyte membrane alterations induced by plasmodium simium infection in saimiri sciureus: relation to schüffner's dots. | the nature of erythrocyte membrane alterations in plasmodium simium infections was determined employing light microscopy, carbon replication and transmission electron microscopy. light microscopy of giemsa stained preparations shows that infected cells initially acquire a faint stippling (schuffnerization) which becomes pronouced with subsequent parasite development. enlargement of the host cell usually accompanied stippling. both phenomena appear to depend on host cell age since infected mature ... | 1975 | 165280 |
| cortico-cortical projections from striate cortex of the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). a radioautographic study. | in 13 squirrel monkeys [3h] leucine was injected into three different portions of the striate cortex: the occipital convexity, the interhemispheric surface and the depth of the calcarine fissure. after survival times between 8.5 h and 23 days. the radioautographic study of the brains revealed terminal fields of projection in various cortical areas outside the striate cortex. transport of labelled material to cortex close to the striate area and in the superior part of the supratemporal sulcus oc ... | 1975 | 803391 |
| computer measurements of axis cylinder diameters of radial fibers and "comb" bundle fibers. | in electron micrographs of the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) brain in the striatal efferents were observed at two different levels in their course: (1) in cross-sectioned radial fiber bundles just before they enter the globus pallidus; (2) in cross-sectioned "comb" bundle fibers just before they enter the substantia nigra. in the radial bundles nearly all of the fibers are myelinated; in the "comb" bundle most are unmyelinated. the polarity of all the "comb" bundle fibers is descending. non ... | 1975 | 803515 |
| lamination and differential distribution of thalamic afferents within the sensory-motor cortex of the squirrel monkey. | the structure of the first somatic sensory area (areas 3, 1 and 2), of the motor area (area 4) and the intervening transitional field (area 3a) is described in the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) using nissl, bodian, weil and golgi preparations. the laminar arrangement of both cells and axons is briefly described and this correlated with the distribution of thalamic afferents as identified in experiments conducted with the nauta and autoradiographic techniques. the latter method was used part ... | 1975 | 803517 |
| cardiovascular depressant effects of the neomycin-streptomycin group of antibiotics. | cardiovascular depressant effects of the neomycin-streptomycin group of antibiotics (aminoglycoside antibiotics) were examined during pentobarbital anesthesia in cats, dogs, and 4 species of nonhuman primates: owl (aotus trivirgatus), squirrel (saimiri sciureus), and rhesus (macaca mulatta) monkeys, and dog-faced baboons (papio cynocephalus). intravenous administration of kanamycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, or neomycin produced various degrees of hypotension and relative bradycardia in all spec ... | 1975 | 803801 |
| chemotherapy of plasmodium vivax in saimiri and aotus models. | three standard antimalarial compounds were tested against trophozoite or sporozoite induced infections of the panamanian achiote strain of plasmodium vivax in two species of monkeys. in saimiri sciureus (24 subjects) and aotus trivirgatus (11 subjects), parasite clearance from the peripheral blood averaged 3 days after initiating chloroquine therapy (total dose of 25 mg base/kg body weight over 3 days or single dose of 10 mg base/kg. trophozoite induced infections were cured in all of 10 saimiri ... | 1975 | 804263 |
| auditory sensitivity and equal loudness in the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). | the effects of the type of reinforcer on auditory sensitivity and equal-loudness data were determined in the squirrel monkey. the monkeys, restrained and provided with earphones, were conditioned to depress and hold a bar down in the presence of a stimulus light and then to terminate the holding response after onset of a tone. in experiment 1, the specified behavior sequence postponed electric shock; in experiment 2, a food reinforcer was dependent on bar release during the tone. the shape of th ... | 1975 | 804532 |
| ovulation induction during the anovulatory season in saimiri sciureus. | captive squirrel monkeys show a seasonal response to a subtle ovulation induction regime of the five days of progesterone, four days fsh (1 mg/day) and a dose of hcg (500 iu), with the minimal response occurring from july to september. a 3 times 3 factorial design with 18 adult female monkeys was used to determine the effects of increasing doses of hcg (500, 1,000, or 1,500 iu) and increasing dose of duration of fsh (1 mg for four days, 2 mg for four days, or 1 mg for five days) on ovulation bet ... | 1975 | 804558 |
| blood flow measurements and the "look through" artifact in focal cerebral ischemia. | regional cerebral blood flow (cbf) was measured (intra-arterial injections of 133xe) and electroencephalograms (eeg) were recorded periodically before, for two hours during, and for one and one-fourth hours after middle cerebral artery (mca) occlusion in 20 squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus). a cbf-paco2 response curve for these animals under barbiturate anesthesia was created from cbf values prior to mca occlusion and during the time a steady state was being achieved. the animals were subdivid ... | 1975 | 804730 |
| the effect of heavy orthopedic forces on the sutures of the facial bones. | the effect of heavy continuous orthopedic forces was studied in three saimiri sciureus (squirrel) monkeys. two additional monkeys served as controls. the maxillary sutures were investigated microscopically. in addition, the bone markers (tetracycline, procion red h-8 bs) served for quantitative evaluation under ultraviolet light. after two weeks slight remodeling activity could be observed. after one month a tremendous activity was found in the sutures. the width of the sutures was two to three ... | 1975 | 804828 |

| phylogenetic implications of comparative primate growth rates. | growth data from a number of species of old and new world primates have been analyzed by calculating instantaneous relative growth rates. species discussed are the new world species saimiri sciureus and saguinus nigricollis, and the old world species pan troglodytes and macaca mulatta. the analysis of the perinatal growth data indicated that differences in relative growth rates are present during early periods of growth. more specifically, it was found that the closer taxonomically a species is ... | 1975 | 807116 |
| the ultrastructural morphology of the squirrel monkey area postrema. | examination of the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) area postrema (ap) revealed this circumventricular organ to be primarily composed of two types of glial cells and a single type of neuronal element. no pattern of neuronal arrangement could be discerned, however, this cell type was frequently observed in close relation to the perivascular spaces. the neuronal elements, although slightly larger than the glial cells, were characteristically less electron dense. the neurons routinely displayed a ... | 1975 | 807331 |
| fertilization in vitro of saimiri sciureus follicular oocytes. | an in vitro fertilization system was developed for the squirrel monkey. oocytes recovered from follicles of gonadotropin-treated females and cultured in vitro with spermatozoa resulted in fertilized ova capable of developing to the four-cell stage in culture. in total, 264 follicular oocytes were recovered from 922 follicles in 38 saimiri sciureus. seventy-nine developed to the first polar body stage, and 32 of the 79 were fertilized in vitro. | 1975 | 808625 |
| an inexpensive plexiglas metabolism cage for the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). | a light, sturdy, and inexpensive metabolism cage for use with the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) is described. the design allows for efficient urine and feces separation, ease of maintenance, and little interference with individual and social behavior patterns. standard laboratory procedures for reduction of sampling error are presented, as well as results of a pilot study using the described apparatus. the design of the cage is such that, with minor modifications, it can be utilized by othe ... | 1975 | 809411 |
| optokinetic nystagmus after cerebellar uvulonodulectomy in squirrel monkeys. | after cerebellar uvulondulectomy in squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus), a change occurred in the optokinetic nystagmus, in that there was a slow-phase eye speed decline, at the stimulus speeds above 90 degrees/sec. the difference was statistically significant when pre- and post-ablative comparisons were made. this result supports the usefulness of the optokinetic nystagmus examination to diagnose conditions which involve posterior inferior vermis of vestibulo-cerebellum. the optokinetic after-n ... | 1975 | 809988 |
| a survey of sarcocystis in nonhuman primates. | of the 375 wild-caught old world and new world monkeys examined in this survey, 79 (21%) were infected with sarcocystis, while 369 laboratory-born animals were negative. four strucutrally different types of sarcocysts were observed; 2 were probably new species. new host records were recognized for 4 species of asian macaques, 3 africican cercopithecids, and the new world saimiri sciureus. | 1975 | 810620 |
| [characterization of mycoplasms isolated from imported nonhuman primates (author's transl)]. | mycoplasms were isolated from 35 (16%) of 215 specimens collected from 20 crab-eating monkeys (macaca irus), 9 green monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) and from 9 common squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciurea). all these animals had been imported from south-east asia, africa and south america being apparently healthy. a total of 38 large and 20 small colony-mycoplasma strains were isolated from the nasal and oral cavity, urethra, vagina and rectal feces. the large colony-mycoplasmas could be differenti ... | 1975 | 811474 |
| added heterochromatin segments in chromosomes of squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus). | variant structural homozygosity, observed previously only in plants and insects, is reported herein for the first time in mammalian chromosomes. the addition of a heterochromatic chromosome segment to either one or both homologues is described in autosomes b5 and b12 of the squirrel monkey, saimiri sciureus. | 1975 | 811513 |

| myelinated nerve cell bodies in the dorsal horn of the monkey (saimiri sciureus). | while observing electronmicroscopic preparations of laminae i-iii of rexed ('52), taken from the lumbosacral region of squirrel monkey spinal cord, several small neuronal cell bodies were found which were partially or completely encircled by compact myelin sheaths of varying thickness. though found in all three laminae, the occurrence of these perikaryal sheaths was less frequent in the "inner zone" of lamina ii where there were few myelinated fibers. perikaryal profiles which were completely su ... | 1976 | 823813 |
| the squirrel monkey entorhinal cortex: architecture and medial frontal afferents. | the cytoarchitecture of the periallocortex was studied in cresyl-violet-stained frontal and sagittal sections in six adult squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus). the entorhinal area, located between the sulcus semiannularis and sulcus rhinalis in the rostral parahippocampal gyrus, has been divided into a caudal-medial area 28a and rostral-lateral area 28b. of the six paleocortical laminae, layer ii is the most distinctive, for in 28a it consists of a deeply-stained, dense, continuous lamina and in ... | 1976 | 824031 |
| naturally occurring tuberculosis in a squirrel monkey and a cebus monkey. | tuberculosis was detected in a brazilian squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) and in a cebus monkey (cebus apella). both of these animals were housed in the same room with a rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) subsequently found to be tuberculous. all 3 of the monkeys died within a 4-month period. | 1976 | 824261 |
| physiology of peripheral neurons innervating otolith organs of the squirrel monkey. i. response to static tilts and to long-duration centrifugal force. | 1. the response to static tilts was studied in peripheral otolith neurons in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). each unit was characterized by a functional polarization vector, which defines the axis of greatest sensitivity. a circumstantial criterion was used to assign units to the inferior (in) or superior (sn) vestibular nerves. the former neurons should innervate the sacculus, the latter mainly the utriculus. confirming pasting experiments, the polarization vect ... | 1976 | 824412 |
| physiology of peripheral neurons innervating otolith organs of the squirrel monkey. ii. directional selectivity and force-response relations. | 1. the directional selectivity of peripheral otolith neurons was studied in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). each unit's most sensitive axis was characterized by a functional polarization vector. the direction of a centrifugal force was varied with respect to the vector and to the macular plane. the neurons respond in an excitatory manner to shearing forces orthogonally disposed to the vector. the sensitivity to orthogonal shears was usually 10-15% of the sensitiv ... | 1976 | 824413 |
| physiology of peripheral neurons innervating otolith organs of the squirrel monkey. iii. response dynamics. | 1. the discharge of peripheral otolith neurons in response to sinusoidal force variations was investigated in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). the sine waves were superimposed on a background force which biased the end organ so as to excite or inhibit the unit's firing. both regularly and irregularly discharging neurons were studied. 2. the response amplitude, measured as a peak-to-peak changes in firing rate, reached near-maximal values during the first sine-wave ... | 1976 | 824414 |
| temperate season outdoor housing of saimiri sciureus in the northern united states. | this study demonstrates the ability of saimiri to adapt to out-of-door housing in a northern temperate climate from may through october, to ovulate (both naturally and in response to an induction regime), become pregnant, give birth, and to initiate lactation. the observations reported are of importance for the captive breeding of saimiri for use in biomedical research. | 1976 | 826633 |
| hematological development of the infant squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). | hematologic developmental norms from infant squirrel monkeys indicate a relative maturation of the hematopoietic system by 16 weeks. the elevated hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, mcv and mch at birth are followed by a decreasing hemoglobin (decreasing red blood cell count and mcv) until 4 weeks of age. a reticulocytosis then occurs until the hemoglobin level approximates adult concentrations by 16 weeks of age with gradual changes in this as well as hematocrit, red blood cell count, ... | 1976 | 827482 |
