Brief communication
In a previous study about volume comparisons of the cerebellar complex in some hominoid species (1997), progressive development of only the lateral zone group of nuclei was found in the human cerebellar complex. This development was considered to be related not to bipedalism, but to versatile and coordinated finger movement, evolving after bipedalism was established. It was also considered a prerequisite for the evolution of human language. The l…

Biomechanical analysis of vertical climbing in the spider monkey and the Japanese macaque
Climbing is one of the most important components of primate locomotor modes. We previously reported that the kinesiological characteristics of vertical climbing by the spider monkey and Japanese macaque are clearly different, based on their kinetics and kinematics. In this study, a more detailed analysis using inverse dynamics was conducted to estimate the biomechanical characteristics of vertical climbing in the spider monkey and Japanese macaqu…
Volumetric comparisons on some nuclei in the cerebellar complex of prosimians
Seven measurements were performed on the cerebellar complex of 30 specimens, covering three species each of Cheirogaleidae, Lemuridae and Indriidae, and Daubentonia, and three each of Lorisinae, Galaginae, and Tarsius. The items measured were the volume of the medial (CM), interposed (CI), and lateral (CL) cerebellar nuclei, ventral pons (VPo), inferior olivary principal (OLIPr) and accessory (OLIAc) nuclei, and the vestibular nuclear complex (VE…
Size comparison of the male and female human corpus callosum from autopsy samples
161 cases of human-brain autopsies (93 Male, 68 Female) were collected from three samples in the Kinai district of Japan. From photographs of the midsagittal plane of each brain, surface areas of the corpus callosum (CC in mm2) and of the medial view of the cerebrum (H in mm2) were measured. The absolute H and CC values from each of the three samples were larger in males than in females, with full overlapping of the male and female ranges for bot…
Age Change in Learning Ability of Japanese Monkeys ( Macaca Fuscata ) Measured by the Transfer Index
To examine the developmental change in learning 26 Japanese monkeys at five ages, 1, 2, 3, 5, and over 7 years old, were given two sorts of discrimination-reversal problems differing in prereversal acquisition, one at 67% and the other at 80%. Transfer Index was estimated. With a shift in acquisition from 67% to 80%, the Transfer Indexes were maintained in the 1-, 2-, and 3-yr. groups but declined in the 5-yr. and the adult groups. The results su…
Volumetric comparisons in the cerebellar complex of anthropoids, with special reference to locomotor types
Seven measurements in the cerebellar complex were completed on 45 individuals, including 26 species of anthropoids from Stephan's collection. These included 12 species of New World monkeys, 10 species of Old World monkeys, and Hylobates, Gorilla, Pan, and humans. The measurements were the volume of medial (fastigial) (CM), interpositus (globose and emboliform) (CI), and lateral (dentate) (CL) cerebellar nuclei, ventral pons (VPo), inferior olivar…
A Comparative Neuroprimatological Study on the Inferior Olivary Nuclei (from the STEPHAN'S Collection)
In 2 species of Tupaiidae, 17 species of prosimians, 12 species of New World monkeys, 10 species of Old World monkeys, Hylobates, Gorilla, Pan and human (the STEPHAN'S collection), volumes of the inferior olivary nuclei (principal-IOPr, accessory-IOAc) were measured. The phylogenetical development was studied by using allometry based upon the regression line of 17 species of prosimians. Volume ratios of IOPr and IOAc to medulla oblongata were als…
