Targeted Microinjection and Electroporation of Primate Cerebral Organoids for Genetic Modification

4.9K
The electroporation of primate cerebral organoids provides a precise and efficient approach to introduce transient genetic modification(s) into different progenitor types and neurons in a model system close to primate (patho)physiological neocortex development. This allows the study of neurodevelopmental and evolutionary processes and can also be applied for disease...

A Neural Implant Design Toolbox for Nonhuman Primates

1.8K
This paper outlines automated processes for nonhuman primate neurosurgical planning based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These techniques use procedural steps in programming and design platforms to support customized implant design for NHPs. The validity of each component can then be confirmed using three-dimensional (3D) printed life-size anatomical...

DiOLISTIC Labeling of Neurons from Rodent and Non-human Primate Brain Slices

24.5K
We demonstrate the use of the gene gun to introduce fluorescent dyes, such as DiI, into neurons in brain slices from rodents and non-human primates of different ages. In this particular case, we use adult mice (3-6 months old) and adult cynomologus monkeys (9-15 years old). This technique, originally described by the laboratory of Dr. Lichtman (Gan et al., 2000), is well suited for the study of dendritic branching and dendritic spine morphology and can be combined with traditional...

Production Possibility Frontier (PPF)

2.2K
The Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) illustrates the maximum combination of two goods or services an economy can produce given its available resources and level of technology. It serves as a visual representation of the trade-offs between different production options.
The PPF assumes that resources are fixed and fully employed and technology remains constant. Any point on the curve represents a combination of goods that fully utilizes available resources.
Points inside the curve indicate...

Area of Science:

  • Microbial endocrinology
  • Primate ecology and evolution
  • Neuroendocrinology

Background:

  • Gut microbial communities engage in bidirectional communication with the brain through endocrine, immune, and neural pathways.
  • This communication influences host physiology and behavior, a concept central to microbial endocrinology.
  • Understanding these interactions is crucial for primate ecology, evolution, and conservation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize key findings in microbial endocrinology.
  • To explore the application of microbial endocrinology frameworks to primate stress and reproductive physiology and behavior.
  • To propose hypotheses for investigating endocrine signaling between gut microbes and primate hosts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on microbial endocrinology.
  • Exploration of theoretical frameworks for analyzing host-microbe endocrine signaling.
  • Formulation of hypotheses based on current understanding.

Main Results:

  • Microbial endocrinology provides novel methods for studying host-microbe relationships.
  • The framework can inform understanding of primate stress and reproductive patterns.
  • Three hypotheses are proposed regarding microbe-mediated stability, host-mediated stability, or coincidental cross-talk in host-microbe endocrine signaling.

Conclusions:

  • Investigating the microbiome, hormones, and behavior of wild primates is a promising, largely unexplored area.
  • Microbial endocrinology offers valuable insights into primate physiology and behavior.
  • Further research into endocrine signaling between gut microbes and primates is warranted.
