[on the facial muscles in perodicticus potto and nycticebus coucang (author's transl)].	as descriptions of the facial muscles of lorisiform primates are lacking, the species perodicticus potto and nycticebus coucang are examined. the results are compared with other prosimians.	1975	1137972
[nematodes of the genus spirura, parasites of tupaia and nycticebus in malaysia (author's transl)].	morphological study of two spirura parasites of the oesophageal and the gastric wall of tupaia and nycticebus in malaysia. -- spirura malayensis n. sp. is found both in tupaia in the district of selangor (west malaysia) and in nycticebus coucang in borneo. its very primitive characteristics relate it to s. diplocyphos chabaud, brygoo and petter, 1965, parasite of lemurs from madagascar. its larval development was obtained experimentally in blatella germanica. -- spirura aurangabadensis (ali and ...	1975	818936
a comparative survey of the mast cells of the mammalian brain.	a search for mast cells has been made in the brains of 18 mammalian species in 13 families in the orders insectivora, primates, rodentia and carnivora. in the larger animals, only the diencephalon and olfactory bulbs were examined. mast cells were identified by virtue of their heparin-containing granules, which are stained by alcian blue 8gx and, metachromatically, by toluidine blue 0. within the cerebral parenchyma, mast cells were confined to the dorsal diencephalon of erinaceus europaeus (hed ...	1976	819404
evaluation and re-evaluation of genetic radiation hazards in man. ii. the arm number hypothesis and the induction of reciprocal translocations in man.	the arm number hypothesis proposed by brewen and collagues in 1973 has been examined in the light of information thus far available from mammalian studies. in experiments with peripheral blood lymphocytes (radiation in vitro), a linear relationship between dicentric yield and the effective chromosome arm number of the species was obtained in the mouse, chinese hamster, goat, sheep, pig, wallaby and man. however, the data are not consistent with such a relationship in several primate species (ma ...	1976	819823
twilight zeitgebers, weather, and activity of nocturnal primates.	bush babies (galago senegalensis), slow lorises (nycticebus coucang), and an owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus) in outdoor enclosures usually began activity in certain illuminance ranges of dusk and accommodated to seasonal changes in sunset time. influences of cloud cover were variable, but marked heat and cold were inhibitory. accurate endogenous timekeeping and a reliance on the most stable zeitgeber apparently maintain activities in synchrony with the rhythmically changing environment.	1976	821830
the intercollicular area of the inferior colliculus.	to study the somatosensory input to the inferior colliculus, lesions were made in the dorsal column nuclei of the hedgehog, tree shrew, slow loris, marmoset and african green monkey, and spinal cord of the hedgehog, tree shrew and slow loris. the degenerating fibers stained with silver impregnation methods. the dorsal column system projects primarily to an area lateral to the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus, whereas the spinotectal projection is primarily to the medial region in the h ...	1976	825188
somatic sensory cortex of llama (lama glama).	the somatic sensory cortex (si and sii) was mapped in llamas using microelectrode mapping methods developed earlier in a study of si of the slow loris. projections to si from the llama's prehensile browsing lips were differentially enlarged when compared to those reported for sheep. in llama, sii was reversed in its mediolatreal pattern from that reported for sii in most other mammals. fissural landmarks reliably demarcated different projections within si, between si and sii and between si or si ...	1976	990910
activity of nocturnal primates: influences of twilight zeitgebers and weather.	the time of onset of activity of bush babies (galago senegalensis), slow lorises (nycticebus coucang), and an owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus) living in outdoor enclosures usually fell in certain illuminance ranges of dusk and kept pace with seasonal progressions of sunset time. influences of cloud cover were variable, but excessive heat and cold were inhibitory. accurate endogenous timekeeping and reliance on the most stable zeitgeber apparently maintain activities in synchrony with the rhythmica ...	1976	813298
mitochondrial variations in the spinal ganglion cells of the slow loris: an electron microscopic study.	the fine structure os spinal ganglia from seven slow lorises (nycticebus coucang coucang) was studied following perfusion fixation using different concentrations of glutaraldehyde and post-fixation in 1% osmic acid. two cell types, one light (63%), and the other dark (37%) were reported out of the total number of 425 neurons counted. almost all the light cells contained filamentous mitochondria, whereas only 35% of the dark cells contained filamentous mitochondria, the other 65% having vacuolate ...	1976	819403
the myoglobin of primates. viii. nycticebus coucang (slow loris).	to the analysis of three prosimian myoglobins reported previously [1, 2] that of the slow loris (nycticebus coucang) has been added. a cladogram has been constructed utilising the new information to arrive at a possible ancestral prosimian myoglobin. within the primates only the four prosimians share residues of threonine at position 34 and of isoleucine at position 142. during tryptic digestion of the loris myoglobin, some hydrolysis was observed at bonds not usually considered to be susceptibl ...	1976	814928
microelectrode mapping of modality-specific somatic sensory cerebral neocortex in slow loris.	microelectrode mapping methods and strategies were developed to map fine details of the somatotopic organization of somatic sensory cortex (si) in slow loris. in-depth, multiple-unit recording, and threshold natural stimulation of skin and hari revealed three modality-specific cortical areas. the centrally located one was activated by extremely light touch and the somatopic organization of peripheral projections to it was mapped in detail. as many as 25 punctures/mm2 were made in delineating the ...	1976	825191
the antecubital organ of the primate slow loris (nycticebus coucang coucang).	a study of the 'antecubital organ' of the slow loris (nycticebus coucang coucang), was undertaken in light and electron microscopes. as distinct from other prosimian primates there is a complete absence of interstitial cells in the gland suggesting its different functional role. the acinar cells in the 'antecubital organ', of slow loris contain large number of smooth er and electron-dense secretory granules. the granules are seen both in the apical region of the cells as well as in their basal c ...	1976	821175
changes in the ultrastructure of satellite cells of slow loris in tricresylphosphate poisoning.	toxic reaction of satellite cells from posterior root ganglia of slow loris in tcp poisoning is described. the satellite cells in experimental animals show a marked increase in the rough er, golgi complex, microvesicles and filaments. furthermore there is also an increase in the number of dense bodies and mitochondrial density in these cells. the significance of these changes are discussed and it is concluded that in tcp poisoning not only the neurons but the supporting cells are also affected.	1977	403739
fine structure of the olfactory epithelium in some primates.	electron microscopy of the olfactory epithelium of two prosimian primates, the trees shrew and slow loris, and two simian primates, the macaque and gibbon, has shown that this epithelium consists of three cell types, receptor cells, supporting cells and basal cells, as in other mammals. receptor cells were ciliated in all the animals investigated except the tree shrew, where, in addition to ciliated receptors, nonciliated receptors bearing only microvilli were occasionally present. developing re ...	1977	838619
temperature regulation in a hypometabolic primate, the slow loris (nycticebus coucang).	six slow loris were exposed to air temperatures between 10 degrees c and 40 degrees c. rectal temperature was stable (mean, 34.8 degrees c) at air temperatures between 17 degrees c and 31 degrees c; at higher air temperatures, the animals became hyperthermic. oxygen consumption was minimal at air temperatures of 31.4-36.6 degrees c; the mean value (0.250 ml o2 g-1 h-1) was only 36% of the expected level for a eutherian mammal. the slow loris increased its heat production at lower air temperature ...	1977	68719
mitochondrial degeneration after organic phosphate poisoning in prosimian primates.	the degenerative reaction of mitochondria to tricresylphosphate (tcp) poisoning in spinal ganglion cells of slow loris (nycticebus coucang coucang) were studied with the electron microscope. in neurones of animals treated with tcp, mitochondria display various stages of alterations which confirm mitochondrial involvement in tcp poisoning. the role of degenerated mitochondria in the formation of neuronal lipofuscin is discussed. it is suggested that the lipofuscin granule is a metabolic product i ...	1977	401474
[hypometabolism in aotus trivirgatus (primates, plathyrhini, cebidae)].	the standard metabolism of aotus trivirgatus (night monkey, owl monkey) is 22.5 to 46.2 per cent below kleiber's prevision curve for mammals, which applies to other cebid monkeys like saimiri sciureus and alouatta. however the metabolic rate of aotus is not reduced to the extent found in two hypometabolic prosimians perodicticus potto and nycticebus coucang. the low metabolism in aotus is associated with a normal body temperature and a thick fur of high insulating power. these results are discus ...	1977	146561
dicentric yields induced by gamma-radiation and chromosome arm number in primates.	to evaluate the effect of the chromosome arm number on the yield of dicentric chromosomes, frequencies of gamma-ray-induced chromosome aberrations were examined with peripheral lymphocytes from three different primate species, saimiri sciureus (arm number, 77), macaca fascicularis (arm number, 83) and nycticebus coucang (arm number, 99). irradiated blood samples were cultured by the same standard technique as that commonly used for human lymphocytes. the yields of dicentrics and dicentrics plus ...	1977	405578
the anatomical relations of the ductus vomeronasalis and the occurrence of taste buds in the papilla palatina of nycticebus coucang (primates, prosimiae) with remarks on strepsirrhinism.	nycticebus coucang is typically strepsirrhine. this condition is basically the same in all prosimians except tarsius. the rhinarium shows a labial part; the marked furrow in its median plane clefts the margin of the upper lip. the latter is attached to the gum between the median incisors by means of paired folds (not corresponding to a frenulum labii superioris). the labial cleft is continued in the sulcus papillae palatinae. the ductus vomeronasalis opens into the ductus nasoplatinus which, in ...	1977	415935
amino acid sequences of the alpha and beta chains of adult hemoglobin of the slender loris, loris tardigradus.	alpha and beta chains from adult hemoglobin of the slender loris (loris tardigradus) were isolated by amberlite cg-50 column chromatography. after s-aminoethylation, both chains were digested with trypsin and the amino acid sequences of the tryptic peptides obtained were analyzed. further, the order of these tryptic peptides in each chain was deduced from their homology with the primary structures of alpha and beta chains of human adult hemoglobin. comparing the primary structures of the alpha a ...	1978	100490
patterns of retinal terminations and laminar organization of the lateral geniculate nucleus of primates.	autoradiographic tracing procedures have been used to study the organization of retinogeniculate axons in seven primates, i.e., four species of new world monkeys, one species of old world monkeys and two species of prosimians. these data suggest that the basic primate pattern of geniculate lamination consists of two parvocellular layers, two magnocellular layers, and two poorly developed and highly variable superficial (s) layers which are ventrally located. ocular input to each member of each o ...	1978	102662
primate repetitive dnas: evidence for new satellite dnas and similarities in non-satellite repetitive dna sequence properties.	repetitious dna sequences have been isolated from a number of the primates in in both suborders anthropoidea and prosimii by hydroxy-apatite chromatography at a cot of 10. in addition to finding previously unreported possible at-rich satellite dnas in orangutan, gibbon, rhesus and slow loris a clear similarity to human dna was found in the nonsatellite repetitious dna sequence properties of the primates in the suborder anthropoidea. this is based on the presence of the hydroxyapatitie isolated 1 ...	1979	114378
[cytogenetics of two lorisidae (nycticebus coucang and perodicticus potto). comparison with the lemurs and the simians (author's transl)].	the karyotypes of two lorisidae (prosimians) nycticebus coucang and perodicticus potto have been studied, using many banding techniques. these karyotypes are compared with each other and also with those of microcebus murinus (lemur) and of cebus capucinus (simian, platyrrhine). the karyotype of m. murinus appears ancestral to the other. that of the lorisidae cannot be an intermediatry stage between the karyotypes of the lemurs and of the simians. an important part (12 p. cent) of the genome of n ...	1979	115375

neuronal and synaptic arrangements of the lateral geniculate nucleus in night-active primates.	the lateral geniculate nucleus (lgn) of aotus trivirgatus and nycticebus coucang shows two types of neurons at the ultrastructural level: a large thalamo-cortical relay neuron (tcr) and a small neuron of golgi type ii, which is considered to be an interneuron. the interneuron contains small aggregations of synaptic vesicles in the perikaryon adjacent to the cell membrane in synaptic contact to a tcr neuron. only in the perikaryon of the interneurons can cilia have their origin. after unilateral ...	1983	6673609
learning set formation in slow lorises (nycticebus coucang).	in primates, learning set formation has been reported in various simian species, but in only few prosimian species. the formation of visual discrimination learning set was tested on a nocturnal prosimian species, slow lorises (nycticebus coucang). their performance was higher than that of some new world monkeys. this confirmed the suggestion from the data on black lemurs (lemur macaco) that there is an overlap between prosimians and simians in learning set ability.	1983	6629231
pterygodermatites nycticebi (nematoda: spirurida) in golden lion tamarins.	pterygodermatites nycticebi (syn rictularia nycticebi), a spirurid nematode first described in the slow loris (nycticebus coucang), recently has been associated with morbidity and mortality in the golden lion tamarin (leontopithecus rosalia rosalia) collection at the national zoological park. adult worms were found in the lumen of the small intestine with their anterior ends embedded in the mucosa. larvae, when present, were deeper in the submucosa. a few heavily infected animals developed profo ...	1983	6406763
scapula of apidium phiomense: a small anthropoid from the oligocene of egypt.	a scapular fragment from the upper fossil wood zone, quarry i, fayum depression, egypt, is assigned to the taxon apidium phiomense. this animal may have approximated the size of galago crassicaudatus or nycticebus coucang, as predicted by regressing body weight on glenoid surface area and fossa length for an assortment of living primates. morphometric values for spinoglenoid, axilloglenoid, and axillospinal angles indicate locomotor affinities of a. phiomense with colobine monkeys. other nonmetr ...	1983	6407926
cerebral response to medullary pyramid stimulation in the rabbit.	the response evoked in the cerebral cortex of the rabbit by stimulation of the medullary pyramid was studied electrophysiologically. the response was everywhere surface-positive and began 2-3 ms after the stimulus. it exceeded 1 mv in amplitude and generally lasted 2-4 ms. maps of the response showed it to extend throughout the anterior one-third of the cortex (in the 'motor' cortex) and into adjacent tissue, including the limbic cortex. although it depended on antidromic conduction in pyramidal ...	1984	6535628
positional and activity behavior in a captive slow loris: a quantitative assessment.	this study examines the positional and activity behavior of a captive slow loris, nycticebus coucang. the male individual was housed in a primate facility providing a seminatural environment and was subjected to a series of videotape recordings from which 1,878 point observations were taken. the enclosure was designed to allow maximum flexibility of substrate use. quantitative information detailing activity, positional mode, and substrate geometry was collected using a checklist of 15 variables. ...	1984	32131563
the medial terminal nucleus of the monkey: evidence for a 'complete' accessory optic system.	the retinal projection to the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory optic system of the monkey was examined in several primate species which had received intraocular injections of [3h]proline or [3h]fucose. these data show that the medial terminal nuclei of the slow loris, marmoset monkey, and squirrel monkey all receive a sparse input from the contralateral retina.	1986	3947982
the chromosomes of nycticebus coucang (boddaert, 1785) (primates: prosimii).	the high-quality karyotype of a specimen of nycticebus coucang is described and illustrated. the x chromosome is found to be indistinguishable from that of the greater galagos, and may represent a synapomorphic trait. the y chromosome is a medium to small submetacentric (3.2% tcl) and constitutes one of the larger y chromosomes known in primates. n. coucang is found to have multiple nor-bearing chromosomes in contrast to the single pair found in galagine and catarrhine monkeys. since a single no ...	1987	3504803

sperm-sperm associations in the loris epididymis.	in a few mammals, the passage of maturing spermatozoa through the epididymis is characterized by development of persistent associations between one or more neighboring cells over the acrosomal region. the converse situation is described here in the loris, nycticebus coucang, a prosimian primate. loris spermatozoa released at spermiation enter the caput epididymidis as single cells and then become stacked in rouleaux of 2-8 spermatozoa there, the peri-acrosomal plasmalemma of one being linked by ...	1987	3507360
distinct subfamilies of primate l1gg retroposons, with some elements carrying tandem repeats in the 5' region.	two subfamilies of l1 elements, differing dramatically in the first 1.2 kb of sequence at their 5' ends, were identified in the prosimian primate, galago garnetti. interesting patterns of sequence similarity were observed between the galago subfamilies, and with the l1s from human and from another prosimian, the slow loris. furthermore, members of one of the subfamilies have six to eight tandemly repeated units of 73 bp, starting about 730 bp from their 5' ends. such tandem repeats have not been ...	1988	3399387
reproduction in the slow loris (nycticebus coucang).	the reproductive biology of the slow loris (nycticebus coucang) is poorly documented because of infrequent captive breeding success and the absence of field studies of this species. reproductive data were collected from a breeding colony of slow lorises held at the duke university primate center for the past 10 years. nineteen infants were born, with a sex ratio of 1:1 and a neonatal mortality rate of 15.8%. in all cases, litter size was one. females born in the colony copulated for the first ti ...	1988	32079376
excretion of radiolabeled estradiol metabolites in the slow loris (nycticebus coucang).	the excretion pattern of estradiol was studied in the slow loris nycticebus coucang) and the ring-tailed lemur (lemur catta) in order to compare steroid excretion in two representative prosimian species. daily urinary estrone conjugate measurements in the female loris provided little information when applied over prolonged periods. as a result of these negative data, a metabolic study was performed to determine if estrogen excretion patterns in the slow loris differed from those in the lemur, wh ...	1988	32079377
mother-infant interactions in captive slow lorises (nycticebus coucang).	information is presented about mother-infant interactions and infant development in a rarely studied prosimian primate, the slow loris (nycticebus coucang). four dyads were observed, by means of closed circuit tv, in a semi-natural environment for 1 hour per day three times a week. infants were inactive for the first 6-8 weeks. although mothers carried infants, they also left them alone for substantial periods of time after the 1st week. over the 20-week study period, there was a significant dec ...	1989	31964002
functional differentiation of long bones in lorises.	the external dimensions of the limb bones and the geometry of their midshaft cross-sections were determined for loris tardigradus and nycticebus coucang. relative cortical thickness, cortical area, and second moment of area were calculated and contrasted with locomotor stresses. the difference in shape-related strength of the bones between the smaller- and the larger-bodied species is more pronounced than can be expected from stresses acting during normal locomotion. the nycticebus skeleton has ...	1989	2807094
