Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to ...

Previous work has developed a cell atlas for the mouse brain, which contains approximately 100 million cells. However, human and primate brains have billions of cells, making the creation of a cell ...

To study how information gathered by the foveola of primates is represented in the brain, the researchers used sophisticated and high-definition imaging techniques developed by their lab.

In addition to having adaptations for enhanced depth perception and visual acuity, primates also have large visual regions of the brain (Allman, 1999; Kaas, 2005, 2008). Macaque monkeys ...
