The paper investigates functional organization in macaque V2 using high-density recordings, finding dense clusters for shape, texture, and motion, contrasting with V1's columnar structure and V4's sparse coding.

This paper introduces Smart Dura, a multi-modal neural interface for non-human primates that enables long-term electrophysiological recording, neuromodulation, and optical transparency.

This paper demonstrates the multimodal capabilities of Smart Dura in non-human primates, enabling high-density electrophysiological recordings and optical imaging with applications in vascular and neural dynamics.

The paper visualizes dense distributions of immunolabeled proteins in adult macaque visual cortex using expansion microscopy and light sheet imaging, enabling multimodal atlas creation.

The paper develops a mosaic AAV vector that achieves high transgene expression and neuron specificity in primate brains, enabling effective chemogenetic manipulation and calcium imaging.
