Background: Callithrix jacchus are small Neotropical primates, commonly known as common marmosets.
The common marmoset occupies a distinctive phylogenetic position of an experimental
model animal for neuroscience. Certain higher cognitive behaviors, and its associated
brain disorders, may in some cases be more easily or accurately examined in a non-human
primate than in rodent or other simple vertebrate animals. Marmoset will be useful
as a non-human primate model to study the brain mechanisms of distinct higher cognitive
behaviors and to serve as a bridge to translate knowledge from the preclinical studies
using rodents to clinical studies.
