Differences in the morphology of the maxillary sinus and roots of teeth between Macaca fuscata and Macaca fuscata yakui determined using cone beam computed tomography

Effect of age on electrical nerve conduction in the somatosensory pathway and its correlation with somatometry and plasma concentrations of musculoskeletal enzymes in male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) held in captivity

“…In this field, non‐human primates (NHPs) constitute a unique biological model due to their phylogenetic proximity to humans, which is generating a continuum of knowledge between our understanding of the basic biology, behavior and social organization of diverse NHP species, and pre‐clinical research on numerous factors that influence their health . The genus most often used in biomedical research is Macaca spp ., and the rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) is the species most commonly studied as a model for analyzing geographic dispersion and ecological variation in relation to the evolution of both living and fossil primates . The estimated life expectancy of these animals in conditions of captivity is 30 years, a fact that facilitates ontogenic studies and the determination of specific, age‐dependent physiological processes.…”

“…dispersion and ecological variation in relation to the evolution of both living and fossil primates. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The estimated life expectancy of these animals in conditions of captivity is 30 years, 10 a fact that facilitates ontogenic studies and the determination of specific, age-dependent physiological processes. It is well known that various biological functions, including behavior, cognition, locomotion, posture, mastication, the search for food and ingestion, reproduction and sociability change during ontogeny in a developmental process that seems to follow a lineal order correlated with corporal growth.…”
