Somatosensory evoked potentials of median and tibial nerves in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) under captivity: influence of ontogenic status in neonatal, infant, young, adult, and senile stages

Abstract

Differences found in signals generated by the nervous system in response to somatosensory stimuli among the studied groups are thought to be developmental in origin, as the most remarkable deviations were seen in younger monkeys.

Absence of the right wing of the ilium generated a compensatory scoliosis in rhesus monkey in captivity: diagnostic imaging and its alteration on the SEPNT

“…At this point, it is observed an enlargement of the latencies (Fig. ), mainly from the left afference, when compared to other authors which present normal electric conductivity in a group of rhesus monkeys of the same age . From this comparison (Fig.…”

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

“…Moreover, the technique used was intracranial electrophysiology. Hernández-Godínez et al, 22,23 for the anterior extremities. For the posterior extremities, it also determined a direct relation between the appearance of latencies and age in the lower somatosensory cortex (r 2 = .802).…”

“…The 20 male M. mulatta monkeys used were held in captivity at the It is widely documented that SEP registry is sensitive to certain factors such as age, sex, type registry, but to date there is a great controversy regarding use of anesthetics at the time of registration. 10,[21][22][23][24] Based on that fact only males were used in this study to be able to evaluate the effect of age as a first approximation in the standardization of SEP and the effect of this anesthetic mixture without the hormonal variations that the females suffer throughout the menstrual period, where changes in electrical activity have been described in relation to the phase of the menstrual cycle. 10,18,21,31 Each experimental group included 4 male rhesus monkeys, di- The ground was placed on the mastoids.…”

“…In this context, it is evident that most studies in this field have used young animals, but this makes it difficult to correctly standardize the model. 10,18,19,[22][23][24][25] References to the use of blood samples to measure musculoskeletal enzymes in rhesus monkeys cite various factors that can affect the viability of findings. These include age, sex, type of confinement, alimentation, state of health, and the effects of the different drugs that may be applied during chemical containment, as well as seasonal and geographic variations.…”

Piracetam‐induced changes on the brainstem auditory response in anesthetized juvenile rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Report of two clinical cases

“…The rhesus monkeys were provided by Proyecto Camina foundation, and they were handled according to the Guide for the Care and Use of Experimental Animals [14] and the NOM-062-ZOO-1999. The animals came from a colony previously described by Hernandez-Godinez et al [6]. The animals were anesthetized with tiletamine/zolazepam (Zoletil 50; 15 mg/ kg i.p.…”
