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. <br> <br><br>-- <br>%---------------------------------------------------------------<br>John Serences<br>Department of Psychology<br>University of California, San Diego<br>9500 Gilman Drive<br>5338 McGill Hall<br>La Jolla, CA 92093-0109<br> fax: 858.534.2324<br>web: <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/pcclab/">http://sites.google.com/site/pcclab/</a><br>%---------------------------------------------------------------<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
