Sex Differences in Cognitive Flexibility and Resting Brain Networks in Middle-Aged Marmosets

Sex differences in human cognitive performance are well characterized. However, the neural correlates of these differences remain elusive. This issue may be clarified using nonhuman primates, for which sociocultural influences are minimized. We used the marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) to investigate sex differences in two aspects of executive function: reversal learning and intradimensional/extradimensional (ID/ED) set shifting. Stress...
