Abstract
Studying the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), one of the world’s smallest primates, in its natural habitat and in the laboratory provides unique perspectives on primate brain evolution, cognition, aging and neurodegenerative diseases, on an accelerated timescale and at a substantially lower cost as compared with larger primate models.
