Brain/MINDS: A Japanese National Brain Project for Marmoset Neuroscience
Brain/MINDS is a national brain project started by Japan in 2014.
A high-throughput neurohistological pipeline for brain-wide mesoscale connectivity mapping of the common marmoset
Understanding the connectivity architecture of entire vertebrate brains is a fundamental but difficult task.
Alpha Oscillations Modulate Preparatory Activity in Marmoset Area 8Ad
Cognitive control often requires suppression of prepotent stimulus-driven responses in favor of less potent alternatives.
Cognitive control of complex motor behavior in marmoset monkeys
Marmosets have attracted significant interest in the life sciences.
Long-lasting vocal plasticity in adult marmoset monkeys
Humans exhibit a high level of vocal plasticity in speech production, which allows us to acquire both native and foreign languages and dialects, and adapt to local accents in social communication.
Chapter 22 – The Marmoset as a Model for Visual Neuroscience
The common marmoset has been valuable as a primate model in biomedical research.
Chapter 26 – The Marmoset as a Model in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychiatric Research
Psychological disorders and the brain mechanisms underlying them are a central focus in biomedical research.

Spatial encoding in primate hippocampus during free navigation
The hippocampus comprises two neural signals—place cells and θ oscillations—that contribute to facets of spatial navigation.
Marmoset Monkeys as a Model of Aging
Interest in the common marmoset as a nonhuman primate aging model is growing.
Gene-edited marmosets may mimic Rett syndrome traits
Researchers have used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to disable MECP2, the gene mutated in Rett syndrome, in marmoset embryos.
Arm movements induced by noninvasive optogenetic stimulation of the motor cortex in the common marmoset
Optogenetics is now a fundamental tool for investigating the relationship between neuronal activity and behavior.

An investigation of brain electrographic activity in freely behaving marmosets before and after cortical penetrating wound.
BRAIN Initiative: Marmosets for Neuroscience Research
One of the goals of this concept is to increase the number of marmosets available to the neuroscience research community.
Intrinsic Functional Boundaries of Lateral Frontal Cortex in the Common Marmoset Monkey
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a small New World primate species that has been recently targeted as a potentially powerful preclinical model of human prefrontal cortex dysfunction.
Neurobiology: learning from marmosets
Many neuroscience labs are intrigued by these social, vocalizing primates.
Why are US neuroscientists clamoring for marmosets?
The common marmoset is in great demand in labs and yet almost nowhere to be found.
