Brain Mechanisms in the Behavior of the Squirrel Monkey

Staphylococcal meningoencephalitis, nematodiasis, and typhlocolitis in a squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)

“…On presentation, physical examination revealed a thin monkey with a body weight of 782 g, rectal temperature of 99.5°F (37.5°C) (axillary temperature reference range: 35–39°C), heart rate of 180 beats/min (range: 140–330), and respiratory rate of 60 breaths per minute (range: 40–112) [18]. The monkey was hypoglycemic (blood glucose: 57 mg/dl; OneTouch ® Basic ® Meter, LifeScan Inc., Milpitas, CA, USA).…”

Development and Plasticity in Sensory Thalamus and Cortex

“…Published normative physiological data for anesthetized SM is scarce, and for this reason Table 1 lists the physiological data (mean, standard deviation) recorded over five typical scan sessions. In the awake restrained SM, body temperature is 37-39 • C (Brady, 2000;Pinneo, 1968), mean arterial blood pressure is 140 ± 4 mmHg (Byrd & Gonzalez, 1981), and the heart rate may exceed 300 beats per minute (Pinneo, 1968). As Table 1 indicates, isoflurane anesthesia decreases body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate.…”

High-Field (9.4T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Squirrel Monkey

“…Published normative physiological data for anesthetized SM is scarce, and for this reason Table I lists the physiological data (mean, standard deviation) recorded over five typical scan sessions. In the awake restrained SM, body temperature is 37 -39 0 C (Brady, 2000;Pinneo, 1968), mean arterial blood pressure is 140 + 4 mmHg (Byrd & Gonzalez, 1981), and the heart rate may exceed 300 beats per minute (Pinneo, 1968). As Table 1 indicates, isoflurane anesthesia decreases body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate.…”
