Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Primate Research
  • Cerebral Cortex Studies

Background:

  • Understanding primate neocortical function and recovery mechanisms is vital for developing neurorehabilitative strategies.
  • Current lesioning and neurophysiological tools for non-human primates (NHPs) lack integration, hindering comprehensive studies.
  • A need exists for adaptable tools to study physiological phenomena in both healthy and injured primate brains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive toolbox for inducing focal cortical lesions and monitoring neural and vascular dynamics in NHPs.
  • To overcome limitations in existing tools for clinical translation of neurophysiological studies.
  • To enhance the understanding of cortical functions and recovery mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a photothrombotic method for precise focal cortical lesion induction.
  • Utilized a quantitative model for designing experiment-specific lesion profiles.
  • Integrated optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for large-scale vascular monitoring (~5 cm²) and electrocorticography (ECoG) arrays for neural dynamics.
  • Validated the toolbox in seven macaques, compatible with chronic cranial windows.

Main Results:

  • Successfully validated a toolbox enabling targeted lesioning and simultaneous large-scale optical and electrophysiological monitoring in macaques.
  • Demonstrated the capability to monitor vascular and neural dynamics in conjunction with induced cortical lesions.
  • The integrated system allows for testing stimulation-based interventions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed toolbox provides a versatile platform for advancing NHP research on cortical function and injury recovery.
  • This integrated approach enhances the ability to study neurovascular coupling, neural dynamics, and functional recovery.
  • The toolbox is crucial for bridging basic research with the development of novel neurorehabilitative treatments.
