Integrating Histology And Mri On The First Digital Brain Of Common Squirrel Monkey

As part of the only Old World Monkey group I analyzed the Silver Langur whose scientific name is Trachypitneus Cristatus. In this cage there was a total of 6 monkeys so there was very much activity. This

Within this essay, we will study more in depth the behavioral as well as physical traits of two primates at a zoo from their interaction with their peers to their place in the group. This observation would enable us to further understand the possible existing correlation between humans and primates. First, I studied a female chimpanzee with her baby, and then, a dominant male gorilla, in San Francisco Zoo at about noon, on May 23, 2015, for an hour each. Even though they share some similarities such as having a large brain, living for a long time, and being bored in their enclosure, they are still different; when gorillas are the largest, chimpanzees are the smartest. In fact, chimps use tools to catch food, they would not be able to reach

This project pertains to the pygathrix cinerea or which it is more commonly know as the grey- shanked douc Monkey . It falls under the animalia kingdom, the chordata phylum, the mammalia class, the primates order, and the cercopithecidae family, the pygathrix genus,and the pygathrix nemaues species ( http://www.departments.bucknell.edu ). The body, and the majority of the arms, and lower legs are light grey with a paler underside, and their shoulders, upper legs, and part of their buttocks are marked with white patches. Their feet and hands are black while having the bare skin on their face being yellowish brown, and the areas around the mouth and chin which is white. Long white fur borders the sides of their face with a slanting eye, and their throats are white with an orange collar encircled

Modeling is one thing I could improve on with this project. The head is shaped to proportion, but I could add more depth to it. I could add more details in the face so it could look more realistic. I could also model the ears so that they could be more connected to the head. Another detail I could improve on with this toy monkey is modeling the eyes with the head, instead of making separate eyes. Texturing the toy monkey can also be improved. When I made the object, I added a hypershade to each face of the object. I would improve on this by making a UV layout and placing a textured image on it to create a “fur” like appearance. I could also make a bump map so that it creates an illusion of fur on the monkey. I would also re-texture the pants so instead of a checker style pattern, it would have a red stripe pattern and also have fabric material. The overall look of the monkey would be more realistic if I made these improvements because then the monkey wouldn’t look so blocky, and

There are several benefits that we can gain from the development of MRI imagining technology. A common argument for

There are three species of monkey that are abundant in Lui Kotale, the redtail monkey, Tshuapa red colobus and black mangabey. Researchers found a finger from

Figure 6 shows a selection of mammalian skulls. The primate skulls are the two on the right and as you can see, they have relatively short snouts. Obviously there is a huge amount of variation in gross skull shape across the mammalian class, but certainly, on average, primate skulls tend to be short. Elaboration of the visual apparatus, with the development of varying degrees of binocular vision. Orbits ringed with bone. Figure 6 also shows the characteristic morphology of the primate orbit. The eyes face forward for binoccular region, the eyes tend to be quite large, and the orbit is either a fully enclosed cup (as in the chimp in figure 6) or a lateral post-orbital bar (as in the aye-aye). In most other mammals (for example the bear and kangaroo), the eye is simply plastered onto the side of the skull and held in place by soft tissue.

According to the data collected, the Intermembral index for each of the six primates observed from highest to lowest is: Gibbon (127), Howler monkey (102), Baboon (94), Macaque (89), Marmoset (74), Human (69). From this grouping, the Gibbon is the primate whose IM at 127 is the highest percentage, and this indicates that their upper limbs are significantly longer than their lower limbs. In contrast, the Human, with an IM of only 69 serves as the lowest percentage of the examples given, and this instead serves to demonstrate that their upper limbs are shorter than their lower limbs. This difference in limb length between the Gibbon and the Human is significant because it helps to show how species are adapted to best fit the environments

However, when looking at their skulls, it was harder than expected. New World monkeys have “3 premolars and 2 or 3 molars” (O’Neil, paragraph 4). The last molar can sometimes be particularly small, or even nonexistent (Lavenda and Schultz, pg 103, Figure 4.6). We noticed that the New World monkey that we examined in class had only 2 molars, and we could clearly identify the 3 premolars. This is different from Old World monkeys, considering they “have 2 premolars and 3 molars” (O’Neil, paragraph 4). It was harder to differentiate the premolars from the molars of the Old World monkey, because most all of their molars were dull. The premolars on the New World monkey were sharper, so that made it a bit easier to distinguish premolars from molars, and therefore easier to differentiate Old World from New World. Through our thorough examination of the detention of the New and Old World monkey, we were able to conclude the true identity of the skulls.

First studies looked for abnormalities within craniofacial structures using techniques and processing common in medical imaging such as cephalometry or computed tomography (CT). In [6] authors applied sophisticated volumetric analysis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the

The neocortex is thought to have originated about 160-300 million years ago and is suggested to play a role in helping the animal understand its complex environment to enable its survival. Therefore, it makes sense that much of the neocortex is involved in sensations and largely vision, (Allman, 1990). In fact it has been found that the brain of anthropoid primates is mostly dominated by this visual system found in the neocortex, (Aboitiz & Montiel, 2012). The primary visual cortex (part of the neocortex), is large across many anthropoid primates and it has been shown that for catarrhine primates, group size correlates with facial motor nuclei (which innervate muscles to control facial

The performance of this methology is depended on how the information is been extracted and classified of the features extracted. As explained earlier the main purpose of the paper is to increase accelerate and amplify the textural analysis and extract the features from magnetic resonance imaging of a brain by adding on a GPU to it( Graphical Processing Unit). MRI has been one of the most important Image Enhancement technique used in diagnostics for many years because of its flexible, powerful and image enhancing characteristics. In general, image extraction method is categorized in many ways.1.Statical Method,2)Structural method,3)Model base method,4)Transform based method.
