Task-based fMRI of a free-viewing visuo-saccadic network in the marmoset monkey

Saccadic tasks are often used to index aberrations of cognitive function in patient populations, with several neuropsychiatric and neurologic disorders characterized by saccadic dysfunction. The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has received recent attention as an additional primate model for studying the neural basis of these dysfunctions – marmosets are amenable to a host of genetic manipulation techniques and have a lissencephalic cortex,...
