New Cross-Species Map Links Mouse and Marmoset Brain Regions

New cross-species map links mouse and marmoset brain regions

Most neuroscience research still runs on mice, even though much of what applies to mice does not hold up in humans. Marmosets have emerged as a bridge between species.

New brain map links mice and primates

Most neuroscience research still runs on mice, even though much of what applies to mice does not hold up in humans. Marmosets have emerged as a bridge between species. However, comparing the brains of mice and marmosets runs into a chicken-and-egg problem. Scientists need to know which part of one brain matches the respective region...
