: RMs used in this study were housed at the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) in Covington, LA. All animal housing, care, and research were performed in compliance with The National Research Council, Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and the Animal Welfare Act. The Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC) is fully accredited by AAALAC International (Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care), Animal Welfare Assurance No. A4499-01. All studies were reviewed and approved by the Tulane University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) under protocol number P0177. All clinical procedures were carried out under the direction of experienced laboratory animal veterinarians in the TNPRC Division of Veterinary Medicine. Clinical procedures were performed under anesthesia using approved anesthetics, and all efforts were made to minimize stress, improve housing conditions, and provide enrichment opportunities (e.g., objects to manipulate in cages, varied food supplements, foraging, and task-oriented feeding methods, and interaction with caregivers).
