TL;DR: The results suggest that Japanese macaques engage left-hemisphere processors for the analysis of communicatively significant sounds that are analogous to the lateralized mechanisms used by humans listening to speech.

TL;DR: Indocyanine green staining of the ILM appears to be a safe and useful adjunct in vitreous surgery for macular hole repair, and there was no clinical or fluorescein angiographic evidence of ICG toxicity.

TL;DR: This paper found that the neural lateralization of vocal perception in Japanese macaques depends on the acoustic properties of the calls used or their communicative significance, which suggests that the laterality effect is related, in some fashion, to the communicative valence of the signals rather than their purely physical characteristics.

TL;DR: Japanese macaques and control species were trained for food to respond to one class of recorded fuscata vocalizations and found that responses to these vocalizations varied according to the type of animal.

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up of patients who underwent ICG-assisted ILM peeling for idiopathic macular hole repair demonstrates excellent anatomic and visual results.
