The purpose of this Core is to insure high quality experimental preparations. We plan to use owl monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus) because the cortical visual areas have been extensively mapped in these animals (Allman et al., 1994). We have a colony of owl monkeys that produces 2 to 3 infants per year, which will be used in the developmental atlas project. Our attending veterinarian, Dr. Janet Baer, is an authority on the husbandry and diseases of owl monkeys and has published extensively on this subject (Baer, 1994). We also have a small colony of dwarf lemurs, which are advantageous for MRI imaging studies because of their small size. We plan to hire an animal technician who will assist in the anesthesia, physiological monitoring and recovery of the animals to be used in the imaging studies.

该核心的目的是确保高质量的实验 准备工作。我们计划使用猫头鹰猴（Aotus trivirgatus），因为 这些动物的皮层视觉区域已被广泛绘制 （奥尔曼等人，1994）。我们有一个猫头鹰猴群，可以生产 2 到 每年3个婴儿，将用于发育图谱项目。 我们的主治兽医 Janet Baer 博士是这方面的权威 猫头鹰猴的饲养和疾病，并在以下领域发表了大量文章 这个主题（Baer，1994）。我们还有一小群矮狐猴， 由于其体积小，有利于 MRI 成像研究 尺寸。我们计划聘请一名动物技术人员来协助 动物的麻醉、生理监测和恢复 用于成像研究。
