Priebe lab publishes in Journal of Neurophysiology

Dr. Nicholas Priebe and colleagues published a research article in the Journal of Neurophysiology entitled “Motion dependence of smooth pursuit eye movements in the marmots”.   This research revealed that marmosets engage similar mechanisms to other non-human primates to accomplish smooth pursuit eye movements, which serve to stabilize slow-moving objects on the retina by matching eye velocity with target velocity.  The marmoset is a New World primate and represents a beneficial model system in which to study metal disease and systems neuroscience.
