A polymer tube regenerates damaged nerves in monkeys, restoring near full functionality.

The auditory cortices of humans and rhesus monkeys respond very differently to harmonic tones.

The seven primates came into contact with a dye that was used on their mothers, documents reveal.

Rhesus monkeys engineered to express a human gene reportedly show delayed brain development and better short-term memory. Fellow scientists are raising ethical red flags.

Humans might also inherit such brain changes, a new study suggests.

The findings highlight the need for long-term monitoring of children exposed to the virus, say scientists. 

The approach, which has never before been successfully attempted in primates, could lead to improved animal models for human biology and disease.

Life at the bottom of the pecking order ramps up inflammation, according to new research, an effect that appears to be reversible.
