The stump-tailed macaque: a promising laboratory primate.

Members of Macaca speciosa have characteristics that make them suitable primates for neuropsychological investigation. They work well in discrimination training, have a varied behavioral repertoire and social interaction, and seem to be at least as intelligent as M. mulatta. They are docile and submit readily to laboratory routine.

A certain level of neuroendocrine maturation may be necessary for the effects of amygdalectomy to be manifested.
