Summary
This study investigates the cytoarchitecture, neurochemistry, and projections of the subparaventricular zone in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a diurnal primate model relevant to human circadian biology. Understanding the ZSPV's connectivity and neurochemical organization helps clarify how circadian signals from the SCN are transmitted to regulate physiology and behavior.
