An increasingly popular animal model for studying the neural basis of social behavior, cognition, and communication is the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). Interest in this New World primate across neuroscience is now being driven by their proclivity for prosociality across their repertoire, high volubility, and rapid development, as well as their amenability to naturalistic testing paradigms and freely moving neural recording and imaging technologies. The complement of these characteristics set marmosets up to be a powerful model of the primate social brain in the years to come. Here, we focus on vocal communication because it is the area that has both made the most progress and illustrates the prodigious potential of this species. We review the current state of the field with a focus on the various brain areas and networks involved in vocal perception and production, comparing the findings from marmosets to other animals, including humans.
研究社会行为、认知和交流的神经基础的一种越来越受欢迎的动物模型是普通狨猴（Callithrix jacchus）。神经科学对这种新世界灵长类动物的兴趣现在正受到它们在整个行为范围内的亲社会性、高发声能力和快速发育，以及对自然主义测试范式和自由移动的神经记录和成像技术的适应性的推动。这些特征的互补性使狨猴成为未来灵长类社交大脑的有力模型。在这里，我们专注于声音交流，因为它是取得最大进展并说明该物种巨大潜力的领域。我们重点介绍了声音感知和产生所涉及的各种大脑区域和网络，将狨猴的研究结果与包括人类在内的其他动物进行了比较，以此来回顾该领域的现状。
