This paper presents a novel monkey model with impaired DISC1 gene to study adolescent prodromal phenotypes of psychiatric disorders, finding altered social behavior and disrupted brain connectivity.

This study shows that the interhemispheric pathway's role in motor recovery changes from inhibitory to facilitatory in primates after corticospinal tract lesioning, affecting hand movements during early recovery.

This paper develops a method to activate specific neurons in the mammalian brain using peripheral administration of ligand precursors, demonstrating its effectiveness in inducing neurotransmitter release and behavioral responses.

This study examines CST reorganization in macaques after partial spinal cord injury, showing axonal sprouting and re-direction in both rostral and caudal spinal segments contributing to recovery of finger dexterity.

This study shows that global disinhibition and corticospinal plasticity enable drastic motor recovery after spinal cord injury in macaques through intensive training and cortical electrical stimulation.

The paper investigates visuomotor transformations in blindsight macaques, finding that the dorsal premotor cortex maintains task-related theta-band responses after V1 lesioning, suggesting its role in hand movement control.

The paper analyzes error and successful trials in oculomotor tasks across marmosets and humans, finding similar behavioral patterns and suggesting marmosets as a model for studying human oculomotor behavior.

This study shows that activating locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons enhances aversive memory retrieval in mice.
