The paper presents a hybrid transcriptome assembly and annotation of Japanese macaque prefrontal cortex using short- and long-read RNA sequencing data.

This study shows that aging rhesus macaques exhibit age-dependent perivascular space burden, mirroring human patterns, and validates MRI-detected structures as perivascular spaces.

The paper characterizes early CLN7 disease in macaques using multimodal biomarkers, revealing region-specific brain changes and neurodegeneration markers.

This study examines longitudinal changes in structural and effective connectivity in a non-human primate HD model, finding reduced structural connectivity and early effective connectivity changes.

The paper identifies layer 5a corticostriatal neurons as selectively vulnerable in Huntington's disease using single nucleus RNA sequencing and shows they have extensive mHTT-CAG expansions.

The paper creates a multimodal brain atlas for rhesus macaques combining structural and diffusion imaging data to enable consistent region identification across imaging modalities.

This study shows AAV2.retro efficiently transports gene cargo retrogradely in rhesus macaque brains, enabling widespread transduction of brain circuits relevant to Huntington's disease.

This study investigates sex differences in inflammatory responses and gut microbiota in a progressive monkey model of Parkinson's disease following MPTP treatment.
