Article Synopsis
- The capuchin monkey is an ideal model for neuroscience research due to its unique biological features like brain structure, genetic profile, and cognitive abilities.
- Traditional stereotactic neurosurgery methods often rely on brain atlases but can result in inaccuracies due to individual variations in monkeys' brain sizes and shapes.
- A new protocol using MRI imaging, along with a 3D-printed stereotactic head-holder and non-invasive fiducial markers, allows for personalized brain coordinate derivation, enhancing experimental design and accuracy in neurosurgery and benefiting other nonhuman primate research.
