The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has garnered interest recently as a powerful
model for the future of neuroscience research. Much of this excitement has centered on the …

The ability to adaptively follow conspecific eye movements is crucial for establishing shared
attention and survival. Indeed, in humans, interacting with the gaze direction of others …

Social organisation in animals takes many forms. It includes assemblages of territorial
animals, dominance hierarchies and social groups, among other things. The basic tenet that …

Changes in neuronal activity create local and transient changes in energy demands at
synapses. Here we discover a metabolic compartment that forms in vivo near synapses to …

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 …

Some animals have the remarkable capacity for mirror self-recognition (MSR), yet any
implications for self-awareness remain uncertain and controversial. This is largely because …

Emotion recognition represents the ability to encode an ensemble of sensory stimuli
providing information about the emotional state of another individual. This ability is not …

We demonstrate that the evolution of facial recognition in wasps is associated with
specialized face-learning abilities. Polistes fuscatus can differentiate among normal wasp …

This review summarizes human perception and processing of face and gaze signals. Face
and gaze signals are important means of non-verbal social communication. The review …

Face perception in humans and nonhuman primates is rapid and accurate [1–4]. In the
human brain, a network of visual-processing regions is specialized for faces [5–7]. Although …
