This study shows that macaque monkeys develop habitual manual choices toward previously rewarded objects, driven by learned value and spatial preferences, with reaching habits persisting without reward and showing shorter latencies than value-deliberative tasks.

This paper introduces a modular cranial window for long-term optical imaging in awake macaques, enabling maintainable access and reducing tissue degradation.

This study shows reduced VPS26B in the primary motor cortex of a Parkinsonian mouse model correlates with decreased glutamate receptor and synaptic protein levels, and impaired motor performance.

This study shows that activating hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in macaques increases naturalistic eating behavior and food motivation, with specific effects on palatable food.

The paper was withdrawn due to significant content changes, and the authors do not wish it to be cited.

This study evaluates hand dexterity function in a non-human primate Parkinson's disease model using a hand dexterity task and identifies correlations with tremor symptoms and dopamine transporter levels.
