A behavioural study demonstrating the important role of temporal cues in the perception of multi-syllabic calls in cotton-top tamarins. These behavioural data support some of the neurophysiological findings in the closely related marmoset monkey.

This study relates the sizes of Betz and Meynert neurons to other pyramidal neurons across many different primate species. The authors show that there are important and intriguing species differences that might relate to species-specific behaviours.
