Abstract. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare, mainly acute inflammatory polyneuropathy in humans. It is frequently post-infectious with auto antibodies being formed against myelin sheaths, resulting in a progressive and more-or-less severe paralysis of the motor neuron and cranial nerves. Mortality is low and 60 % of the patients recover completely from the disease after intensive treatment.In animals, there are a few diseases that closely resemble GBS, but cases of GBS in monkeys seem to be scarce. In this case report, the clinical course of a progressive tetraplegia in a male rhesus macaque is described. Clinical, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), electroneurography (ENG) and electromyography (EMG), and pathological findings revealed symptoms very similar to human GBS.

Abstract The third reported case of a malignant nerve sheath tumor of the facial nerve is presented. The clinical course and pathological findings are described and serve as the basis for a discussion concerning malignant nerve sheath tumors arising in the cranial nerves.

Abstract A 17-year-old girl presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. On computed tomography, an enhancing intraaxial lesion in the region of the foramen magnum was demonstrated. Surgical excision was performed. The pathological diagnosis was low grade fibrosarcoma. Her subsequent course was complicated by cerebrospinal fluid seeding, a posterior fossa recurrence, and repeated subarachnoid hemorrhage with cerebral vasospasm. A combination of radiotherapy and intraventricular chemotherapy has left the patient symptom-free 2 years after operation. The intramedullary appearance of fibrosarcoma and the unusual subsequent clinical course are discussed. (Neurosurgery 21:551-553, 1987)

And Task

Primatologists, psychologists and neuroscientists have long hypothesized that primate behavior is highly structured. However, fully delineating that structure has been impossible due to the difficulties of precision behavioral tracking. Here we analyzed a dataset consisting of continuous measures of the 3D position of fifteen body landmarks from two male rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) performing three different tasks in a large unrestrained environment over many hours. Using an unsupervised embedding approach on the tracked joints, we identified commonly repeated pose patterns, which we call postures. We found that macaques' behavior is characterized by 49 distinct identifiable postures, lasting an average of 0.6 seconds each. We found evidence that behavior is hierarchically organized, in that transitions between poses tend to occur within larger modules, which correspond to intuitively identifiably actions; these actions are in turn organized hierarchically. Our behavioral decomposition allows us to identify universal (cross-individual and cross-task) and unique (specific to each individual and task) principles of behavior. These results demonstrate the hierarchical nature of primate behavior and provide a method for the automated "ethogramming" of primate behavior.
