Data from field studies of three Callithrix species, C. flaviceps, C. intermedia, and C. jacchus, are considered in an attempt to characterize group dynamics in this genus. The three groups considered in detail contrast significantly in many behavioral (mating system, ranging behavior, activity patterns) and ecological (zoogeography, habitat, diet) variables. Despite this, all three groups are highly similar in a number of characteristics, including relatively large size, high reproductive output, and low rates of migration. The evidence suggests that Callithrix groups may frequently encompass three generations and are characterized by a high degree of both stability and relatedness between group members. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The relationships between members of the groups include behaviors related to affiliation, dispute for dominant positions, parental care, and facing disputes for food and territory. All these activities are under hormone modulation and those of a steroidal nature are heavily involved. Despite this, only few data are available on steroid hormones in free-ranging marmosets of the genus, which limits the understanding of the physiological functioning and modulation of the socio-sexual behavior by steroid hormones of this taxon.

Mechanisms of computation in sensorimotor cortex must be flexible and robust to support skilled motor behavior. Patterns of neuronal coactivity emerge as a result of computational processes. Pairwise spike-time statistical relationships, across the population, can be summarized as a functional network (FN) which retains single-unit properties.

Felzartamab is a recombinant fully human immunoglobulin G1 anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody under clinical investigation for immune-mediated diseases. In support of felzartamab clinical development, toxicology studies were conducted in marmoset monkeys, which was the most relevant species based on CD38 binding affinity, pharmacologic activity, and target expression. The felzartamab toxicology program included an enhanced prenatal and postnatal development (ePPND) study to identify potential reproductive and postnatal development risks.

Characterizing the anatomical structure and connectivity between cortical regions is a critical step towards understanding the information processing properties of the brain and will help provide insight into the nature of neurological disorders. A key feature of the mammalian cerebral cortex is its laminar structure. Identifying these layers in neuroimaging data is important for understanding their global structure and to help understand the connectivity patterns of neurons in the brain.

The brain helps us survive by forming internal representations of the external world. Excitatory cortical neurons are often precisely tuned to specific external stimuli. However, inhibitory neurons, such as parvalbumin-positive (PV) interneurons, are generally less selective.
