Marmosets confirm that context is king

Katalin M Gothard. Neuron. .

Abstract

Neural responses to vocalizations are expected to depend on the sensory features of the stimulus. In this issue of Neuron, Jovanovic and colleagues show that call-responsive neurons in the prefrontal cortex of marmosets signal not only the auditory stimulus but also the social-behavioral context.
