Fundamental principles of cortical computation: unsupervised learning with prediction, compression and feedback [PDF]
There has been great progress in understanding of anatomical and functional microcircuitry of the primate cortex. However, the fundamental principles of cortical computation - the principles that allow the visual cortex to bind retinal spikes into representations of objects, scenes and scenarios - have so far remained elusive.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Primate phylogeny: molecular evidence for a pongid clade excluding humans and a prosimian clade containing tarsiers [PDF]
Interpretations of molecular data by the modern evolution theory are often sharply inconsistent with paleontological results. This is to be expected since the theory is only true for microevolution and yet fossil records are mostly about macroevolution.

Addressing missing context in regulatory variation across primate evolution [PDF]
In primates, loci associated with adaptive trait variation often fall in non-coding regions. Understanding the mechanisms linking these regulatory variants to fitness-relevant phenotypes remains challenging, but can be addressed using functional genomic data. However, such data are rarely generated at scale in non-human primates.

Multi-View Broad Learning System for Primate Oculomotor Decision Decoding [PDF]
Multi-view learning improves the learning performance by utilizing multi-view data: data collected from multiple sources, or feature sets extracted from the same data source. This approach is suitable for primate brain state decoding using cortical neural signals.

Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

A phylogenetic approach disentangles interlocus gene conversion tract length and initiation rate [PDF]
Interlocus gene conversion (IGC) homogenizes paralogs. Little is known regarding the mutation events that cause IGC and even less is known about the IGC mutations that experience fixation. To disentangle the rates of fixed IGC mutations from the tract lengths of these fixed mutations, we employ a composite likelihood procedure.

Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains
