Abstract

Our laboratory has developed two methods [not outlined in this abstract] for collecting saliva [e.g., for cortisol determination] from adult rhesus monkeys: a 'screen' method, which involves licking screen-covered gauze, and a 'pole' method, which involves sucking and chewing on an attached rope.
