🐒➡️🧑 The marmoset emerges as a powerful primate model for studying functional brain organization at the network level, especially in naturalistic settings.

Key result: sensory and multisensory networks show strong cross-species correspondence, while higher-order networks reveal both shared structure and species-specific organization.

🧠 We applied tensor ICA to extract large-scale functional networks driven by the movie, separately in humans and marmosets.

🔍 We then asked:
Which networks show similar temporal profiles across species?
Which ones cluster together?
Where do they diverge?

🎬 Instead of classic tasks, we showed the same naturalistic movie to both species.

Movies evoke rich, time-locked brain responses that are surprisingly comparable across brains of very different sizes.

Our new paper is out in Communications Biology!

🎬 We used movie-driven fMRI to compare functional brain networks in humans and marmosets.

Despite ~35 million years of evolution, we find striking correspondences in large-scale functional organization.

rsfMRI of the claustrum in 234 scans in awake marmosets, now in press at @imagingneurosci.bsky.social

like we showed in humans, rats, and mice previously, claustrum has widespread connectivity to the cortex, especially prefrontal, cingulate, and posterior parietal
