Technological advances over the last decade are changing the face of behavioral
neuroscience research. Here we review recent work on the use of one such transformative …

The last decade has seen major advances in neuroscience tools allowing us to selectively
modulate cellular pathways in freely moving animals. Chemogenetic approaches such as …

Optogenetics has revolutionized neuroscience in small laboratory animals, but its effect on
animal models more closely related to humans, such as non-human primates (NHPs), has …

Distributed neural population spiking patterns in macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex that
support core object recognition require additional time to develop for specific," late-solved" …

Optogenetic studies in mice have revealed new relationships between well-defined neurons
and brain functions. However, there are currently no means to achieve the same cell-type …

The powerful suite of available genetic tools is driving tremendous progress in
understanding mouse brain cell types and circuits. However, the degree of conservation in …

The rostromedial caudate (rmCD) of primates is thought to contribute to reward value
processing, but a causal relationship has not been established. Here we use an inhibitory …

Translational profiling methodologies enable the systematic characterization of cell types in
complex tissues, such as the mammalian brain, where neuronal isolation is exceptionally …

Over the last 10 years, the use of opto-and chemogenetics to modulate neuronal activity in
research applications has increased exponentially. Both techniques involve the genetic …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) has a strong monosynaptic connection with the caudate
nucleus (CdN) of the striatum. Previous human MRI studies have suggested that this LPFC …
