This is Scientific American's 60-Second Science. I'm Steve Mirsky . Got a minute ?
How do you do a brain scan on a gorilla 1. Yeah, yeah, very carefully, right. He sleeps anywhere he wants to, too. But seriously, trying to do an MRI on a gorilla presents certain logistical problems. Back in the 1980s, when a gorilla at the Bronx Zoo needed to be scanned, zoo staff working with pathologists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine slipped the sedated 2 primate 3 into Montefiore Hospital in the dead of night. The only sign of anything unusual was a big hairy arm sticking out from under a sheet on a gurney.
Recently, another Bronx Zoo gorilla, named Fubo, needed some high-tech 4 evaluation 5 after he had a seizure 6. But now the MRI machine could come to him. The Brain Tumor 7 Foundation sent its Bobby Murcer Mobile MRI Unit over to the zoo. Murcer was a New York Yankee outfielder and broadcaster whose life was cut short in 2008 by a brain tumor. Einstein physicians again worked with zoo vets 8 to diagnose the problem. Which appears to be a lesion in Fubo’s left temporal lobe 9. He’s being treated—but won’t be released!
Thanks for the minute for Scientific American's 60-Second Science. I'm Steve Mirsky .
