Highly Consistent Anatomical Asymmetry in a Small Primate Brain: Left is Always Larger in the Marmoset Monkey

The paper shows that the left hemisphere of marmoset monkeys is consistently larger than the right, challenging the link between brain size and hemispheric asymmetry.

Rapid degeneration and neurochemical plasticity of the lateral geniculate nucleus following lesions of the primary visual cortex in marmoset monkeys

This study examines the timing of neuronal degeneration and neurochemical changes in the lateral geniculate nucleus after V1 lesions in marmoset monkeys, finding rapid neuronal loss and delayed volume shrinkage.

Distribution of calbindin-positive neurons across areas and layers of the marmoset cerebral cortex

The paper maps the distribution of calbindin-positive neurons across marmoset cerebral cortex areas and layers, revealing patterns related to cortical hierarchy and function.

Giant pyramidal neurons of the primary motor cortex express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), a known marker of cortical interneurons

The paper shows VIP is expressed in large Betz neurons of the marmoset primary motor cortex, not just interneurons, and highlights their distribution and co-localization with other markers.

Neuronal distribution across the cerebral cortex of the marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus)

The paper quantifies neuronal density and distribution across the marmoset cortex, revealing regional and laminar variations and their potential functional and developmental implications.
