Two-photon imaging of neuronal activity in motor cortex of marmosets during upper-limb movement tasks

Two-photon imaging of neuronal activity in motor cortex of marmosets during upper-limb movement tasks

Marmosets are an important model organism in neuroscience but there has only been limited success in training them on behavioral tasks. Here the authors report their ability to train marmosets in various motor tasks and simultaneously image neural dynamics in motor cortex with 2-photon imaging.
