| Research Abstract |
In order to investigate characteristics of neuronal circuits regarding communication in common marmoset, I try to record neuronal activities during the performance of the discrimination task (voices of marmoset VS voices of non-marmoset). At first, I developed the monkey chair equipped by a button for reaction and a shutter for delivery of food reward. I trained the animal in the discrimination task and obtained following results. (1)the experiment could be done every day due to reduction of foods which were available at home cage.(2)50-100food rewards were available in daily experiment.
