Effects of adult social experience on patterns of reproductive activity of socially deprived male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

The three [single-caged, socially deprived] male subjects represented examples of severely disturbed animals as witnessed by rates of stereotyped behavior (self-aggression, stereotyped locomotion). The problem under investigation involved the extent to which social group experience as an adult could modify...

Thyroid (plasma BEI) response to chair restraint in the monkey

Study of 14 of these monkeys throughout a longer period of 8 weeks of chair restraint indicated that ... mean BEI [butanol extractable iodine] levels remained significantly elevated through the third week. ... Acute emotional arousal [enforced restraint] elicits stimulation...

Effects of selected illumination levels on circadian periodicity in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)

It was demonstrated that activity of caged rhesus macaques inceases as a function of light intensity (illumination).

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.
