The paper identifies cell type-specific enhancers for the DLPFC in NHPs using single nucleus RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq, validates them with AAV injections, and demonstrates functional expression in specific neuron types.

The paper introduces an open-source, 3D-printable MRI-compatible stereotaxic frame for nonhuman primates, enabling accurate multimodal presurgical mapping and deep-brain interventions.

This study demonstrates non-invasive blood-brain barrier disruption in marmosets using transcranial focused ultrasound with microbubbles, establishing safe and reliable parameters for preclinical applications.

This study identifies molecularly distinct medium spiny neuron types in the primate striatum, revealing new subtypes associated with specific anatomical compartments and functional roles.

This study shows that dopamine responses encode probability distributions of reward prediction errors, with rare rewards amplifying these responses and enhancing learning and arousal.
