> The neural basis of marmoset antiphonal calling
> Primates are typified by their complex social systems and the  
> sophisticated behaviors used to navigate them.  Although relatively  
> little research has been directly aimed at examining the neural  
> substrates underlying primate social behaviors, it is clear that  
> they are mitigated by dynamic neural mechanisms in the neocortex. In  
> this talk, I will present a new model system for investigating the  
> relationship between brain and behavior in primate cortex.  
> Specifically, I will describe recent work exploring the neural  
> mechanisms underlying  antiphonal calling in common marmosets.  At  
> the behavioral level, these studies seek to characterize the full  
> spectrum of processes that occur from the initial sensory input to  
> the resultant motor response, while neurophysiology experiments  
> examine the properties of neurons in prefrontal cortex during this  
> behavior.
