[HTML][HTML] The marmoset monkey as a model for visual neuroscience

JF Mitchell, DA Leopold - Neuroscience research, 2015 - Elsevier
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has been valuable as a primate model in
biomedical research. Interest in this species has grown recently, in part due to the successful …

A simpler primate brain: the visual system of the marmoset monkey

SG Solomon, MGP Rosa - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Humans are diurnal primates with high visual acuity at the center of gaze. Although primates
share many similarities in the organization of their visual centers with other mammals, and …

Functional mapping of face-selective regions in the extrastriate visual cortex of the marmoset

CC Hung, CC Yen, JL Ciuchta, D Papoti… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The cerebral cortex of humans and macaques has specialized regions for processing faces
and other visual stimulus categories. It is unknown whether a similar functional organization …

Detailed characterization of neural selectivity in free viewing primates

JL Yates, SH Coop, GH Sarch, RJ Wu, DA Butts… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Fixation constraints in visual tasks are ubiquitous in visual and cognitive neuroscience.

Saccade preparation reshapes sensory tuning

HH Li, A Barbot, M Carrasco - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
Human observers make large rapid eye movements—saccades—to bring behaviorally
relevant information into the fovea, where spatial resolution is high. In some visual tasks [1 …

Running modulates primate and rodent visual cortex differently

JP Liska, DP Rowley, TTK Nguyen, JO Muthmann… - Elife, 2024 - elifesciences.org
When mice run, activity in their primary visual cortex (V1) is strongly modulated. This
observation has altered conceptions of a brain region assumed to be a passive image …

Presaccadic attention sharpens visual acuity

Y Kwak, NM Hanning, M Carrasco - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Visual perception is limited by spatial resolution, the ability to discriminate fine details.
Spatial resolution not only declines with eccentricity but also differs for polar angle locations …

The athletes' visuomotor system–Cortical processes contributing to faster visuomotor reactions

T Hülsdünker, HK Strüder, A Mierau - European Journal of Sport …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Many sports require athletes to rapidly transform visual information into a targeted motor
response, a process referred to as visuomotor reaction. On the behavioural level, athletes …

Functional MRI of visual responses in the awake, behaving marmoset

CC Hung, CC Yen, JL Ciuchta, D Papoti, NA Bock… - Neuroimage, 2015 - Elsevier
The visual brain is composed of interconnected subcortical and cortical structures that
receive and process image information originating in the retina. The visual system of …

Auditory and visual motion processing and integration in the primate cerebral cortex

TA Chaplin, MGP Rosa, LL Lui - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The ability of animals to detect motion is critical for survival, and errors or even delays in
motion perception may prove costly. In the natural world, moving objects in the visual field …
