Summary: This study experimentally investigated the habituation to pain and its effect on attentional interference. The results showed no difference in attentional interference and habituation between painful and tactile distractors, and no evidence for dishabituation. These are the first studies of their kind.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of the nature (vocal/non-vocal) of the information to be encoded on the establishment of auditory regularities. The results showed that the repetition positivity (RP) was similar between vocal and non-vocal stimuli, suggesting that the repetition suppression phenomena is independent of the nature of the stimulus. However, the P1 amplitude for non-vocal stimuli stabilized faster than for vocal stimuli, indicating different dynamics in the establishment of regularity encoding for non-vocal and vocal stimuli.

Summary: Neurons in the macaque inferotemporal cortex exhibit repetition suppression when a complex natural image is presented twice. This phenomenon occurs in both high-order and low-order visual areas.

Summary: The study found that habituation occurs in the pupa of Tenebrio molitor after repeated stimulation, but response recovery can occur when exposed to different stimuli. These findings support the significant role of habituation in the survival of the species.

Summary: This study found that neurons in the inferotemporal cortex exhibit repetition suppression when an image is presented twice. The neurons respond less strongly to the second presentation, with the strongest suppression occurring when the adapter and test images are identical. The degree of suppression also depends on the preferences of the individual neuron, such as a stronger suppression when the repeated color or shape is preferred.

Summary: This study evaluated the immune response and plasma biomarkers associated with spontaneous viremia suppression in a new model of young SHIV-infected RMs, which generated heterologous HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies. It found that certain immune cell subsets and plasma molecules were associated with viremia control.

Summary: In this review, the methods and theoretical assumptions about habituation are critically examined. The problems with measuring habituation solely as a change in stimulus presentations are pointed out, and the importance of using a common test procedure for assessing habituation learning is emphasized. The view that habituation is nonassociative is challenged, and the implications of associative learning perspectives for context-specific habituation and stimulus representation are considered. Recommendations for future research on habituation and the need for integration of behavioral and neurobiological studies are highlighted.

Summary: Sensory specific satiety refers to the decline in hedonic value of food as it is consumed. It shares characteristics with habituation, but studies have yielded mixed results. This study aimed to test the habituation characteristics within a Sensory Specific Satiety (SSS) framework using rats as subjects. The results challenge the idea that SSS constitutes a typical case of habituation.

Summary: The habituation-dishabituation paradigm was tested for determining dogs' olfactory detection thresholds for a neutral odorant. Some dogs showed dishabituation to differing concentrations in the experimental condition, indicating potential practicality in studying canine olfaction with further assessment and refinement required.

Summary: The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is involved in various social behaviors, including aggression, maternal care, mating behavior, and social interaction. Activation of the BNST has been shown to reduce social interaction between unfamiliar animals in rodent studies. However, the role of the BNST in social interaction in primates has not been investigated. By temporarily inactivating the BNST in male macaque monkeys, we found that BNST inactivation led to a significant increase in social interaction, accompanied by an increase in passive contact and a significant decrease in locomotion.

Summary: Animal vocalisations carry biological information about age, sex, body size, and social status. Recent research has found that African penguins encode individual identity in the fundamental frequency and resonance frequencies of their vocalizations. This study showed that penguins can perceive and respond to variations in these parameters, indicating their ability to use them for individual recognition.

Summary: Rhesus macaques are bred for biomedical research and their strict dominance hierarchy leads to a high rate of fight injuries. This study analyzed 10 years of injury records and found that breeding females were more likely to be injured. The introduction of a new adult male had the greatest impact on injury rate and pregnancy probability for females.

Summary: Dominant rhesus macaques tend to make more prosocial choices compared to subordinate ones, especially when the decision involves a reward for both self and another monkey. However, altruistic behavior was not observed when the choice was between a reward for self only and a reward for other only. Additionally, prosocial choices decreased significantly when the social partner was replaced by a non-social object, indicating that social context plays a crucial role in their decision-making processes.

Summary: The composition of early-life gut microbial communities in nursery-reared rhesus macaques is influenced by age, birth year, and vaccination status. The study identified a positive correlation between certain microbial species, such as Sutterella and Rodentibacter, and vaccine-elicited antibody responses. Metagenomic analysis revealed metabolic pathways associated with improved antibody responses following HIV vaccination. The findings suggest a bidirectional relationship between the microbiota and vaccines, highlighting the importance of understanding this interplay in developing more effective vaccines.

Summary: When designing neurotechnologies to assist individuals with communication disabilities, it is crucial for neuroscientists and engineers to take into account both the speaker's perspective and the listening audience's ability to assess the voluntary nature and accuracy of the decoded communication. This is particularly important in contexts of personally significant communication, where there are profound legal and societal implications to consider.

Summary: Monkeys are increasingly being used as translational models for neurodegenerative diseases. This study found that concentrations of certain biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid varied between different species and genders of macaques, while the site of sample acquisition only affected the concentration of neurofilament light.
