Cortisol (CORT) accumulates in the growing hair shaft of humans and nonhuman primates. We describe methods for extracting and analyzing hair CORT with high precision and sensitivity. Measurement of hair CORT is particularly well-suited for assessing chronic stress over periods of weeks to months.

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here. Hair cells are named after...
FAQs
Hair follicles act as the growth sites where specialized cells produce keratin, the structural material of hair. Differences in follicle distribution, thickness, texture, and pigmentation can therefore reflect variation in how hair develops within a species or body region. Comparing these features helps connect microscopic development with visible biological traits.
Variation in hair distribution, thickness, texture, and pigmentation can reflect differences in body covering and adaptation. Studying where particular traits occur, rather than examining hair as a uniform feature, helps researchers consider how form relates to function. This comparison is especially relevant to questions about thermoregulation and evolutionary change among primates.
Growth cycles provide a developmental dimension that complements measurements of hair appearance. When researchers compare cycling patterns with follicle distribution, thickness, texture, or pigmentation, they can investigate how hair traits arise and vary. These observations also support broader studies of development and genetics, linking changing biological processes with differences among humans and nonhuman primates.
A comparison can organize observations by species and body region, then examine hair distribution, thickness, texture, pigmentation, follicle formation, and growth cycles. This approach separates shared features from differences and relates visible traits to development and adaptation. The resulting comparisons can support investigations of primate form, function, and evolutionary change.
Hair characteristics can contribute to distinguishing related species or individuals when researchers evaluate traits such as distribution, thickness, texture, and pigmentation. Their value comes from comparing several features rather than relying on a single visible characteristic. In biological and forensic contexts, these comparisons provide information for interpreting the identity or relationship of the material examined.
The topic supports research spanning genetics, development, evolution, and mammalian form and function. Investigators can ask how follicle-based hair production relates to body covering, how traits differ among primates, and how those differences connect with thermoregulation. These questions place hair within broader studies of adaptation and biological variation rather than treating it as an isolated feature.
