Corticosteroid response to chair restraint in the monkey

These experiments indicate clearly that placement in the restraining chair represents a potent stimulus to the pituitary-adrenal cortical system. Animals who were restrained in an unfamiliar environment showed significantly higher urinary cortisol levels than animals who were familiar with the...

Experimental Production of Depressive Behavior in Young Monkeys

Experimentation with therapeutic agents and techniques utilizing human patients is seriously hampered by lack of experimental control and sound ethical constraints. No such problems exist for the monkey researcher. (p. 131)

Pairing preadolescents with infants (Macaca mulatta)

Infants [isolates and controls] were paired with pre-adolescents. There was more social behavior directed toward control infants than toward isolate-reared infants.

Urinary epinephrine and norepinephrine responses to chair restraint in the monkey

Animals who were restrained in an unfamiliar environment showed significantly higher urinary catecholamine levels than animals who were familiar with the environment in which they were restrained.

Short- and long-term attachments in adult heterosexual pairs of rhesus monkeys

When the members of four heterosexual pairs were separated, all four males bit themselves while attempting to remove the separating barrier or while threatening observers. [quoted in Erwin et al., 1973]

Abnormal behavior in non-isolate-reared rhesus monkeys

Self-aggression [in single-housed subjects] occurred primarily in semi-stressful contexts which apparently did not allow appropriate outward-directed expression of emotion.

Diurnal changes in plasma testosterone and studies on plasma corticosteroids in non-anaesthetized male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Authors evaluated plasma corticosteroid concentrations in male rhesus macaques who were trained to enter voluntarily a restraining apparatus and permitted venipuncture without showing signs of stress. Basal cortisol values were 30% lower than previously reported for different, untrained animals.

Sexually aroused self-aggression in a socialized, adult male monkey

An abnormal but apparently successful sexual posture was observed in an adult male rhesus monkey in which the subject bit its hands and leg in the process of dismounting. This behavior followed each of several mounts but ceased toward the...
