The Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center.
The development and organisation of the centre which now has over 1,500 non-human primates representing more than 30 species, including great apes, is described. Important projects are mainly in the neural and behavioural field, including language acquisition, but also on aspects of experimental pathology.
