The Green Monkey

pleasure circuit (para. 20). They studied monkeys who were given syrup drops after a green light would flash for two seconds on a screen. What they observed was that the monkey’s VTA no longer fired dopamine neurons on the reward itself. Instead, the release of dopamine would happen when they saw the green light. After these findings, the researchers decided to add another component to the experiment where they flashed a blue light and rewarded the monkey randomly, fifty percent of the time. After

in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia (now Serbia) from importation of infected African green monkeys from Uganda. Thirty-one people became sick, first the laboratory staff, followed by several family members and medical personnel who took care of the ill laboratory workers. Seven deaths were reported. The very first people infected were researching the imported African Green monkeys or the tissue of the monkeys while conducting research. The main host of the Marburg virus is the Egyptian fruit bat

published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. The role of color plays an important role in the story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The colors of blue, black, and green symbolize many important emotions and ideas. The blue represents the Munchkins, the black represents the Wicked Witch of the West, and the green represents the Emerald city. The first color that appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is blue, which represents the Munchkins. The tornado drops Dorothy's house on the Wicked

Animal Intelligence Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. Psychologists have exploited this concept in many ways to try and determine whether non-human animals are capable of intelligence. From social learning it is logical to assume that, since non-human animals are able to both acquire and use new behaviours, they must be intelligent in some way. Heyes stated that there are 6 types of behaviour which suggest intelligence. These are

1 Colobus uses sense to choose their breakfast which nonprimate mammals do not use. Apes and other Old World monkeys possess trichromatic vision which allows them to perceive across the visible spectrum (from blue to red) (Carroll, 45). On the other hand, most nonprimate mammals are dichromats hence they cannot differentiate between red from green. This adaptation helps the animals to select nutritious leaves which are easy to digest. 2 Genome 3 Icefish evolved new function of its myoglobin protein

various classes of society, based on the way they are dressed. It is important to note that in this region, the shadow is not a normal grey or black color associated with a shadow. Rather it is dark green and areas where shadow meets light are

several hundred years. Some people might think that evolution is ridiculous, how could we have come from monkeys? The theory of evolution, I believe, is one of the most important concepts for people to learn. It explains what we descended from and where we came from as a species. The overwhelming evidence to support this idea is almost irrefutable. Evolution is much more complex than "we came from monkeys." Adaptations in traits and genetics over time have influenced almost every species and continues to

The brain starts to determine a color once the signal reaches the retina. The signal is then analyzed by nerve cells and compared by neighboring cones and they calculate whether the light is more blue-yellow or red-green. After that, the colors are divided into several pathways in the brain where they are processed and identified. Recent evidence has come to show that the processing systems in our brains are also perceptual systems, and that color is processed before

Throughout World War II, it was found that analysis reports of aerial photographs were more accurate when at least one member of the group of analyzers was colorblind. Color blindness is a vision deficiency disorder, in which the eye becomes more or less sensitive to color. This is the result of the malfunctioning, or lack, of special cone cells in the eye. Although color blindness may seem beneficial in a situation similar to war, most people with color blindness find it to be a disruption to everyday

Squirrel Monkeys Since 1970 the population of Squirrel Monkeys has gone down from 200,000 to 5,000. Squirrel Monkeys have the largest brains of any other living thing. They have 23 different calls. There can be up to 500 Squirrel Monkeys in a group. The Squirrel Monkey is intriguing because of where it lives, how it survives, and how it has been impacted by humans. The Squirrel Monkeys live in rainforests.Squirrel Monkeys are the most abundant primate in riverside forests in the Guianas and
