The purpose of this research is to establish a research infrastructure that allows Brain/MINDS researchers to conduct research using marmosets in a stable manner. In particular, to cope with the shortage of animals we will breed animals to provide to Brain/MINDS researchers. In addition, to improve animal quality as a research resource, such as downsizing of animals and reduction of genetic diversity, we will improve breeding and raising performances.
