Book The Neurobiological and Physiological Basis of Pair Bond Maintenance Behavior in Socially Monogamous Titi Monkeys  Callicebus Cupreus

Download or read book The Neurobiological and Physiological Basis of Pair Bond Maintenance Behavior in Socially Monogamous Titi Monkeys Callicebus Cupreus written by Emily Spray Rothwell and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pair bond relationships may be stable over time, but the behavioral interactions involved in maintaining these enduring social bonds are dynamic over time. Capturing and understanding these social complexities is difficult and likely contributes to the fact that there is far less literature regarding the maintenance of long-term pair bonds compared to their formation. The goal of my dissertation was to probe the neurobiological and physiological basis of behaviors that contribute to pair bond maintenance. I studied this in captive coppery titi monkeys (Callicebus cupreus), a New World primate species that reliably display pair bonding in the wild and the laboratory. In chapter 1, I explored the role of the dopamine system in arousal and mate guarding behavior in male titi monkeys. For chapter 2, I characterized differences in behavioral dynamics between partners from newly-formed compared to well-established pairs of titi monkeys. Finally for chapter 3 I explored the influence of pair bond characteristics on the regulation of physiological responses during a challenge to the relationship.

Book Titi Monkey  Callicebus Cupreus  Pair bonds and the Role of  mu  and  kappa  Opioid Receptors

Download or read book Titi Monkey Callicebus Cupreus Pair bonds and the Role of mu and kappa Opioid Receptors written by Benjamin J. Ragen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opioid system is involved in a variety of behavioral and physiological functions. The opioid system, especially the [mu] opioid receptor (MOR) has been well established to be involved in infant-mother bonds as well as regulating social behavior in non-monogamous primates. Recent research in the monogamous prairie vole has provided evidence for the MOR and the [kappa] opioid receptor (KOR) to regulate pair-bond formation and maintenance. The following series of studies aimed at expanding this research to the monogamous titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus) and to explore how the MOR and KOR affect social behavior and endocrine functioning. For Study 1, paired male titi monkeys were administered the MOR agonist, morphine, and the opioid antagonist, naloxone, in the presence and absence of their pair-mate. Morphine attenuated the increase in plasma cortisol in response to separation and naloxone increased cortisol. Opioid manipulation had no effect on social or separation distress behavior, however, the presence of a pair-mate attenuated naloxone's aversive effects, which manifest as an increase in locomotion, cortisol, and vasopressin. For Study 2, paired male titi monkeys received morphine, naloxone, or the KOR agonist U50,488 upon reunion after a brief separation as well as whether. Morphine administration resulted in a reduction of males initiating contact and proximity with the female with the females compensating for the decrease in social motivation by breaking contact less. KOR activation resulted in slight increase in cortisol. Experiment 2 of Study 2, administered the KOR antagonist, GNTI, to observe if it would attenuate the separation distress response. GNTI attenuated the locomotor component of the separation distress response. The aim of Study 3 was to examine the distribution of MORs and KORs. Mapping of MORs and KORs with [3H]DAMGO and [3H]U69,593, respectively, uncovered that there was binding in the striatum, cingulate cortex, amygdala, and hypothalamus. These are all brain regions involved in social behavior and endocrine function. These studies are the first to provide evidence that MORs and KORs in a monogamous primate regulate endocrine functioning and key behaviors important for maintaining a pair-bond.

Book Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis  Sakis and Uacaris

Download or read book Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis Sakis and Uacaris written by Liza M. Veiga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-11 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The neotropical primate family Pitheciidae consists of four genera Cacajao (uacaris), Callicebus (titis), Chiropotes (bearded sakis) and Pithecia (sakis), whose 40+ species display a range of sizes, social organisations, ecologies and habitats. Few are well known and the future survival of many is threatened, yet pitheciines have been little studied. This book is the first to review the biology of this fascinating and diverse group in full. It includes fossil history, reviews of the biology of each genus and, among others, specific treatments of vocalisations and foraging ecology. These studies are integrated into considerations of current status and future conservation requirements on a country-by-country basis for each species. A state-of-the-art summary of current knowledge, Evolutionary Biology and Conservation of Titis, Sakis and Uacaris is a collective effort from all the major researchers currently working on these remarkable animals.

Book Conceptions of Development

Download or read book Conceptions of Development written by D.J. Lewkowicz and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a volume about the process of scientific discovery. Thirteen leading senior scientists, each interested in some aspect of behaviorial development, recount their intellectual journeys over the course of their careers and document their individual struggles to better understand and describe various developmental phenomena. Covering a broad range of topics, including perceptual, motor, social, and cognitive development, the contributors to this volume provide case-studies of how one pursues a long-term, systematic research program and how scientists continually formulate and reformulate their working conceptual frameworks based on their research results. Conceptions of Development provides a unique and personal, behind-the-scenes account of the process of scientific discovery, illustrating that useful and enduring scientific insight derives from the bidirectional interplay between empirical work and theory formulation. This volume will be of interest to a broad audience consisting not only of psychologists and psychobiologists interested in the study of development, but also teachers and students interested in behavioral development and its investigation, and the general reader interested in the process of scientific discovery.

Book Reproduction in New World Primates

Download or read book Reproduction in New World Primates written by J.P. Hearn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New World primates are becoming widely used in scientific and medical work in fields from anthropology to zoology, behaviour to urology. They have unique attributes for studies in cancer, infectious diseases, genetics, virology and reproduction. However, it is only now that their reproductive physiology is being clarified in any depth and this book is a first synthesis of that knowledge. The nine authors involved in this project have presented an up to date account of the major New World species used in biological and medical science. In addition to their distribution and conservation in the wild, essential biological data from laboratory studies are presented on reproductive cycles, gestation length, seasonal breeding, puberty and other factors. The major applications of these species in research are explored. Whenever possible, research workers should steer away from using endangered species in their studies. The New World monkeys used in research in any numbers are still fairly common ~n the wild, yet their greatest advantages are ~n their smalle size and high fecundity. This makes possible the establishment of self sustaining captive breeding colonies at a fraction of the time and cost necessary for the more conventional Old World laboratory primates. Consequently the drain on wild stocks need not be extensive as only breeding nuclei should be necessary.

Book Neurobiology of Social Behavior

Download or read book Neurobiology of Social Behavior written by Michael Numan and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social neuroscience is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field which is devoted to understanding how social behavior is regulated by the brain, and how such behaviors in turn influence brain and biology. Existing volumes either fail to take a neurobiological approach or focus on one particular type of behavior, so the field is ripe for a comprehensive reference which draws cross-behavioral conclusions. This authored work will serve as the market’s most comprehensive reference on the neurobiology of social behavior. The volume will offer an introduction to neural systems and genetics/epigenetics, followed by detailed study of a wide range of behaviors – aggression, sex and sexual differentiation, mating, parenting, social attachments, monogamy, empathy, cooperation, and altruism. Research findings on the neural basis of social behavior will be integrated across different levels of analysis, from molecular neurobiology to neural systems/behavioral neuroscience to fMRI imaging data on human social behavior. Chapters will cover research on both normal and abnormal behaviors, as well as developmental aspects. 2016 PROSE Category winner - Honorable Mention for Biomedicine and Neuroscience Presents neurobiological analysis of the full spectrum of social behaviors, while other volumes focus on one particular behavior Integrates and discusses research from different levels of analysis, including molecular/genetic, neural circuits and systems, and fMRI imaging research Covers both normal and abnormal behaviors Covers aggression, sex and sexual differentiation, mating, parenting, social attachments, empathy, cooperation, and altruism

Book The Evolution of Primate Societies

Download or read book The Evolution of Primate Societies written by John C. Mitani and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, the University of Chicago Press published Primate Societies, the standard reference in the field of primate behavior for an entire generation of students and scientists. But in the twenty-five years since its publication, new theories and research techniques for studying the Primate order have been developed, debated, and tested, forcing scientists to revise their understanding of our closest living relatives. Intended as a sequel to Primate Societies, The Evolution of Primate Societies compiles thirty-one chapters that review the current state of knowledge regarding the behavior of nonhuman primates. Chapters are written by the leading authorities in the field and organized around four major adaptive problems primates face as they strive to grow, maintain themselves, and reproduce in the wild. The inclusion of chapters on the behavior of humans at the end of each major section represents one particularly novel aspect of the book, and it will remind readers what we can learn about ourselves through research on nonhuman primates. The final section highlights some of the innovative and cutting-edge research designed to reveal the similarities and differences between nonhuman and human primate cognition. The Evolution of Primate Societies will be every bit the landmark publication its predecessor has been.
