Because it is the largest primate brain, it does have one distinctive feature: It has the highest number of cortical neurons of any primate. (news.vanderbilt.edu)
The study mostly makes use of cultured cortical neurons from rats, exploiting a wide array of molecular and imaging techniques to probe the mitochondrial function and well - being of neurons manipulated to model Wolfram syndrome. (sciencedaily.com)
