TI - Lack of evidence for sex differences in higher cognitive function in macaques AID - 10.1101/153593 DP - 2017 Jan 01 TA - bioRxiv PG - 153593 4099 - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/06/21/153593.short 4100 - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/06/21/153593.full AB - Here we assessed whether higher cognitive function differed between male and female rhesus monkeys using tests of episodic memory and strategy implementation. We did not find any difference between males and females on behavioral performance or on analyses of grey matter volume of key regions. Our findings suggest that, at least where higher cognitive function in healthy monkeys is concerned, the sexes may not differ.
