Brain Charts for the Rhesus Macaque Lifespan

This study creates normative brain growth charts for rhesus macaques across their lifespan using MRI data, revealing developmental milestones and cross-species comparisons with humans.

Reversible edema following electric drilling of macaque craniotomy

The paper reports reversible edema in macaques after electric drilling for craniotomy, observed via MRI, and advises caution in electrophysiological recordings for 2-3 weeks post-surgery.

Right Temporoparietal Junction Encodes Mental Experience of Others More Than Evaluating False Versus True Belief

The paper investigates how the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ) encodes mental states during theory of mind tasks, finding it reflects the cartoon character's perspective rather than the truth of beliefs.

A causal role for pulvinar in coordinating task independent corticocorticalinteractions

This study shows that pulvinar inactivates reduce phase coherence between V4 and LIP in low frequencies, indicating a causal role in cortico-cortical synchronization during passive viewing.

All hands on deck: Large-scale (re)sculpting of cortical circuits in post-resection children

The paper examines functional connectivity changes in children after unilateral cortical resection, finding increased negative correlations in the contralesional hemisphere.

Quantitative modeling links in vivo microstructural and macrofunctional organization of human and macaque insular cortex, and predicts cognitive control abilities

The paper uses diffusion MRI to analyze microstructural and macrofunctional organization of the human and macaque insula, linking these features to cognitive control abilities.

Thalamo-cortical interactions define functional dissociations across the macaque attention network

The paper examines pulvino-cortical interactions during theta-rhythmic sampling in macaques, finding rhythmic reweighting defines functional dissociations in the attention network.

Organizing principles of pulvino-cortical connectivity in humans

This study uses fMRI to show that the human pulvinar is functionally divided into dorsal and ventral subdivisions, each connected to distinct cortical regions, mirroring visual stream organization.

Pulvinar influences parietal delay activity and information transmission between dorsal and ventral visual cortex in macaques

The paper shows the pulvinar regulates information transmission between parietal and ventral visual cortex during selective attention, sustaining parietal delay activity.

An open resource for nonhuman primate imaging

The paper introduces PRIME-DE, an open resource for non-human primate MRI data, aggregating 13 datasets from 11 sites across 98 macaques.
