Unlabelled: Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are pivotal for unlocking the complexities of human cognition, yet traditional cognitive studies remain constrained to specialized laboratories. To revolutionize this paradigm, we present : an open-source, scalable in-cage platform tailored for freely behaving experiments in small primate species such as the common marmoset ( ). includes modular operant chambers that operate autonomously and integrate seamlessly with home cages, eliminating human intervention.

- Most research on visual system development has concentrated on early stages up to the primary visual cortex (V1), leaving higher visual areas less understood.
- The typical assumption is that these higher areas mature in a set sequence based on their adult positions, but new evidence suggests this process involves unique network configurations rather than simply being smaller versions of the adult hierarchy.
- Future studies should adopt a network-level approach to better understand normal development, pinpoint risks for developmental disorders, and create effective treatments.
Background: Physical activity engagement following a cancer diagnosis is positively associated with survival, reduced risk of disease recurrence, and reduced cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. However, rates of physical activity engagement are low among individuals diagnosed with and being treated for breast cancer or prostate cancer.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the systematic process of developing an e-cycling intervention aimed at increasing physical activity among individuals living with prostate cancer or breast cancer and outline the key components to be implemented.
The primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a quintessential hub of cognitive functions. Amidst its intricate neural architecture, the interplay of distinct neuronal subtypes, notably parvalbumin (PV) and somatostatin (SST) interneurons (INs), emerge as a cornerstone in sculpting cortical circuitry and governing cognitive processes. While considerable strides have been made in elucidating the developmental trajectory of these neurons in rodent models, our understanding of their postmigration developmental dynamics in primates still needs to be studied.
